 I didn't have enough projects already so Picked up a Suzuki GN125 for $400. 




No keys, no title, rotted tires, faded paint, Un known if it even turns over... In short, it's perfect.

I know it's not my Ranger, but there isn't anything wrong with it right now. it's been one of the most reliable vehicles I've owned, so I'm having to go a different route.

 Nice! I had a Suzuki 100 for a few weeks as a kid. Couldn't understand the oil injection so I just mixed gas. Stuck a 35MM Mikuni from a snowmobile on it with a cut up beer can for the adapter. Milled the head (no idea why) till it hit the spark plug then shimmed the spark plug.

Had to feather the throttle till it got some RPM's but it ran incredible for the 2 or 3 weeks it ran. Turns out the oil injection oiled the rotary valve too and it finally gave up.

I like your office/garage!

Oh no! poor bike. I have about 300 miles on the suzuki, It's been super fun. For such a small bike, it is actually far more comfortable to ride than I was expecting. 
Both bikes are rideable, but the Rebel needs some more work (front fork seals are blown. throttle sticks). 





I like your office/garage!
Thanks, with working from home, it is a requirement to have a space.
