Only once this year!!!!!!!!!
But I did get stuff on the way home.
I jest about donating it to me, as I am sure you are a wear.
The moment when your son face lit up will be in your head until the end of time. Savour it.
I hope you 2 have hours of fun.
yes know it was a joke see it here all the time
and yes i was doing most of the work but showing him what to do (done this with bikes with him for the last year or so he gets a punchure i dont even know about it any more comes home removes the wheel sorts it not that nice when they dont need you any more ) but spending time doing things i enjoy and he seams to be taking an intrest in is nice and defo when you make some thing worth 4 times as much buy getting it going even better for him as well he was well inpressed at that he made money
reminds me of the last mini moto he had found it dumped in a bush it had a massive list of stuff wrong with it throttle broken rear shock snaped not starting pull start broken brakes seazed he and 2 other mates found it and must have been dumped so the 3 of them owned it between them it was a project to play with they took it to 2 dads to look at it the one that was suposed to know what he was doing said the piston was shot and throw it away not worth muching around with it my son come to me can you have a look dad
i was out of my depth as i did not know much about them but spent a night looking on the web and the next day with grampy and son started playing droped a bit of fuel in the bore got a drill out put on the starter shaft and give it a go 3 seconds later it fired no run but my son said well the other bloke said it was knackard
any way long story short cleaned carb wired the throttle to the front brake to provide power clamped the rear shock up fixed/bodged up the pull start and my son and hes friends had a great time riding it up and down went through about 10 tanks of fuel over a couple of weeks before thing started going wrong engine would not run once it got hot and then the rear shock was way beond repair and i said no more to drangerus to run it and we sold it for parts to a local bloke for £20 and they had £7 each in there pockets but the fun was worth way more than that
