Picked up one of these yesterday to mount on the back rack of the Rhino. Gonna hook up the cart, put Mrs. 2LZ in a lawn chair facing backwards and away we go.

I picked up another dirt bike .A 1979 Honda xl250 with the engine removed for some unknown reason .I bought it from a nice lady whose boyfriend died 35 years ago ( not on this bike ) , yet she kept it in the garage all these years .I have been working my arse off lately ,so it's still in the back of the truck .$175.00 with paperwork .I need to source a new 23" front tire ,and not sure of anything in regards to the engine ,I might install a chonda ,I might install that 2006 junkaha ttr230 I recently acquired ,I also might find there is nothing wrong with the old one ,or possibly just rebuild it or ?

One things for sure, you better get it out of the truck before it walks off.

Since you have to pull the clutch cover to clean the oil filter anyway, it's an excellent time to adjust the counterbalance spring. If you haven't done one before, you'll be pleased at how nice the engineering is and how simple the task is. I have a thread on here somewhere about it.

I have done literally everything to the old xl-xr engines , I just have zero to go on with this engine so I need to do some investigating as to why somebody pulled an engine in a very new bike at the time .I am also unsure of what parts are still available new ,but I have no trouble dealing with that when the time comes .I did a quick search ,and the 23" tires are still available in about 3-4 varieties ,thought I was going to have to swap a different front end on it and still might ,but it's good surprise when the former trick of the day is still a part I can get at the store .

What did I buy...

I bought a motorcycle floor jack and a couple of ratching straps to hold my Hawk in place while I do a swing arm replacement.

A new Acer Iconia 10.1 tablet.

My 2 in 1 suffered a motherboard meltdown about a month ago and I resorted to my old Galaxy Tab 7 for morning wakies in the meantime. That I could brew a cuppa, use the potty, brush my teeth, and do a few other things before it booted up helped with the decision. The fact that the Acer is spec'd way better than the Galaxy Tab E 9.6 and was $70 less was icing on the cake.

I got a very new craftsman 3000 watt generator with bad gas for $50.00 , and a Popiel Pocket Fisherman ,a vintage one for $10.00 ,they still make them today and now sell for $15.00 .I am going to kit out a couple of my ct90's for some back woods fishing for my son and his friend ,figure it would make a great spare rod for them to stick in a fishing box .
