    Been A Member For A Bit. 1st Pic Of My 84 125m.

    Here she is. I've been a little reluctant to post a pic of her. Here's her good side I guess.
    Rack is bent a little. Plastics are cracked. Still needs brake cables. I just got my WI Registration Decals. I'm thinking about fabbing up some 3" square plates to mount to the sides of the headlight bucket. I don't want to just slap em on the gas tank. Especially if I decide to paint it. I'm planning on getting the back fiberglass plastics off ebay in a few months.

    Thanks for taking a minute to check out my work in progress

    Thanks man. I'm jealous of your loaded BR. That's a nice machine. I think we're only about. 4 hours away. Maybe we need to meet up and drown a worm on some hard water?

    Had a great idea while I was out putzing around the garage a bit ago. What if we invite all the "local" 3WW family to a good ice fishing derby? I know there's that big one in Northern Minnesota every year that's nationally sponsered. I've seen a guy win a new, fully loaded truck with a 6" fish there. Can't remember the name of the city off hand. Maybe you know what I'm talking about Chuckie? The only rider I can think of right now closest to me is Thorpe. He's about an hour and a half Northwest of me in the Twin Cities. I remember seeing a few more members from the Twin Cities area posting before too. Anyone interested in 3WW ice fishing day? I know in WI as long as your machine is registered for public trails frozen water is fair game as far as being considered a trail. I have to look at the regulations again but for the most part the only law that sticks out is when passing fishermen and shacks is you have to slow down to 10 mph (I think?).

    not bad little rough in spot, but i wouldn't complain. heck i see a few parts i'd like to have even.

    been thinking the samething about mine. it's never had anything but the factory original stickers on it and i don't want to just slap a registration sticker on it. it's the main reason i have yet to get one.

    Jon Boy, stay away from my boat cushion!

    Yeah. It's not bad in the snow. It's great on glare ice in the street for donuts. LOL.

    This was my first trike when I was 8. I used to rip it up on that thing!

    I bought one earlier this year for my 8 year old. She's a little smaller than I was at that age, so I still haven't turned her lose on it.

    were you talking about the fishing competition at lake Sakakawea in devils lake, ND? I have a lot of friends who go there every year. It really is a harder competition than people think hard to catch a fish when there is around 5500 lines and hooks in the water at once. Your 125 is in good condition compared to mine. My plastics are ed and my seat and pan are toast as well the good thing is it has a new oem carb and a rebuilt motor done by the honda shop here years ago and I picked it up for 100$

    I don't have a seat pan man. It's barely there. That's why I have a boat cushion. The other side you can't see...the plastics are toast on that side.

    The ice fishing derby I was talking about is Forest Lake I believe just outside of the cities. I believe the major sponsor is Frabil and it's $40 per hole to enter.

    Well here's a couple more pics of my 125m. I spent a couple hours today stitching my fenders which were previously held together with Gorilla Tape. I originally planned to buy the fiberglass fenders off ebay so I didn't bother doing anything with my current fenders. Turns out we are buying the wife an 84 125m on Saturday and hers will have a very decent seat and fenders. Looks like it has new ITP steel rims with damned 's on em. I told her since she's getting a machine I will buy rims and tires for mine and wait on fenders. My Kenda Bear Claws and Douglas .190 Aluminum rims should be here Tuesday.

    Anyways here's a couple pics of stitching progress. I have a little bit to go but work gets in the way.
