only down side.....bastid to wrap up and how are you going to get it in his stocking    :lol

That'll give him something to think about :lol

Well that's the deal done :)
Sitting in my garage now and waiting on my boy to see it, so he should be pleased.

So now I'm going to have to look for spare parts.....
Battery, petrol cap, air pod filter (are these just disposable ones), carb cleaner maybe?

Had a wee browse on fleebay, stuff doesn't look that expensive for it so should get it up and running in no time. :)

I started my kids on a TW125 in the fields near home around the 13 year mark.
Local farmer is into bikes so we had full access to fields which were not in use.
They learned to ride, stop, fall, race, slide, fall,and wheelie on it. (they fell a lot at first)
Bought it as a ratteler for €425 stripped the chassis and they helped paint it and put it back together.
Rebored it, put new pistons rings and gudgeon pin into it.
Had over 2 years fun on it and sold it for €600. :woot

When they were ready for the road I put them on the Serow.

Those look like how it'll end up if I try to get it down the chimney :b

Sorry to disappoint you all but it'll be left in the garage :)

Part of the deal of me getting it is....once I've done it up and my boy has used it for whatever time scale that is, once I'm ready to sell it on, I've to offer to my mate, who got me the deal, first refusal for his grandson :)

At 13 I was up early too but unfortunately he doesn't stay with me as I'm separated, so I'll need to wait till he comes over later :(
