Well I goof and got a 4 wheeler

old · Sep 20, 2008

Son had trouble this morning with his motorcycle so I had to go get him. I got lost in doing so and pasted a yard sale. They had a Honda 125 4 wheeler with a price tag on it of $250. All I had in cash was $213 and asked if they would take that and the guy said yes so I now have a 4 wheeler. Don't know if I'll keep it or not but if I do it should help with deer hunting. Of course it needs some TLC but guess for that price I'm lucky that it runs so well

Just happened to have $213? Hope it works all right. Be safe with it. Whenever I go somewhere and want to scalp tickets to get in, I carry different denominations of cash in different pockets so I can deal and pull them out one at a time and not flash my billfold. I've sold tickets before to people that are claiming poverty and then they ask me to break a hundred. If I go on a trip where I might have to tip, I carry a hand full of one dollar bills in a pocket where I can reach in and pull out one at a time.

If you ride it, you're stuck with it. I use mine for just about everything. You'll be amazed at how much "work" you'll find yourself having to do with it just so you can ride.

Have fun,

Dave

old, your gonna love that thing!!!! handier than heck. make up a little folding tow bar for the front, that way you can pull it behind the tractor, beats the heck out of walking back to the barn. mount a milk crate on the front or back, 12v sprayer for roundup, chain saw scabbard, little hitch on the back for pulling a lawn cart...... if you need parts try bikebandit.com. they have about everything and have tons of stuff for motorcycles and atv's as far back as the 1970's.

Do you know why it was so cheap? A 125 is a little small for an adult but would still work good just for getting around if you take it easy. Dave

Well the tires are not all that good and the plastic is broke up some but other then that it runs and drives very good. Ya for my 6 foot plus body I have to sit way back or its hard on my knees etc. It does need a battery but if I jump it off my battery charger it starts up good and fast and purrs.

Now you guys are gonna make me want to get one.

There was a big horse trailer driving down the road last summer, I looked over to check out his horses, and the darn thing was full of 4 wheelers. Is that where the cattle business is going to now?

a little imagination and plenty of zipties and bungy cords and you can save the world with one of these. Don"t forget the PVC pipe for holding necessities like fishing rods. A patient dog is fun too. Can"t get her to wear a helmet though.

Have fun.

OLD, We bought one of those cheapie PEP boys china jobs and it ended up being the most used peice of equipment on the farm...then got a "freebie" gas powered Yamaha golf cart and I gotta tell ya I don't know how we lived without it. From feed time to toting trash down to the driveway or burn pile to pulling the lawn sweeper to just getting the kids to the bus stop: dog-gone useful devices!
Great find at a great price!

I just sold a mid 80's Honda 125 back in May for $625 so it sounds like you did good. Mine was in pretty good shape though.
