tw 125

picked this little yoke for a song a few weeks back,4 stroke 12 hp :lbhbh: was lying idle for a year chain had rusted solid petrol tank had rusted through aswell, got a tank off flea bay cheap, stripped sanded and painted the bits that needed painting.bought it with the intention to just learn from takin it apart and chancin my arm at fixing it without the need of a bike shop and am happy to say ive learned lots and it hasnt been in a shop “yet” but seriously what a simple bike to work on ,the starter had seized so had that apart and the carb, it was surpisingly clean though,you would struggle to get 60 mph from it but its great craic ,even tried a bit of off roading up the vee today gave me a taste for more,,shocked at the attention im gettin round town though everything from kids screamin cool bike mister to ould fellas askin wat the hell is it :biggrin_old:

ive already been teaching my stepson to ride it and hes a natural and determined to get his own bike when hes old enough,,little does he know its his when the time comes,he thinks i borrowed it for his lessons :lbhbh:

a little sad workin on it had come to an end though really enjoyed it

would even consider gettin one for myself when i give the youngfella this.
