First post and Hello From Florida!

[Mackus84]

Hows everyone doing! Names Mark, and im from central (Lakeland,Fl). Joined the site because ill probably be needing some help in the near future from some of you gentleman. Yesterday i picked up not one, but TWO 1985 200x's... for $200 bucks! Along with a big box full of parts, two extra swingarms and shocks, skid plates, extra hubs and more. Theyre pretty rough, no plastics, only one tank, and one has a 185s motor. The other motor is original, seems in great shape, but it is currently in need of a top end rebuild. The piston is out of it, but all the parts are there. No case cracks, seems to shift nicely. Ive been looking for a good deal on a 200 or 350x because i had one as a kid and loved it!. Well now i am a new proud dad to a beautiful baby boy(6 months old now) and im gonna be reliving my youth through him, and with him. So i wanted to find a project bike to hopefully fully restore, and one day pass down to him. Anyways, im sure ill be needing some help on the motor work and hopefully you all can help. Thanks for having me! And dont judge my trailering skills!!

Looks like you got them secured pretty good and obviously you made it home so good job! I've seen pictures of a lot worse.

What's wrong with your trailering skills? I once hauled a 1984 atc 200s home on the back of my 1984 Mustang because the guy with the truck backed out. You have a ways to go with your trikes, but since your son is only 6 months old, you have plenty of time! Enjoy and welcome.
