Tacomas doing work

it’s a constant battle to keep it going. It’s lead a rough life but still runs. Burns some oil. Smokes a little. Plus the gas these days eats up carbs. But everyone loves to ride it. Hard to believe it was designed for kids.

 

For a fairly small amount of money you could buy an aftermarket engine for it, could even increase the displacement at the same time. I had a 1999 XR70R when I was around fifteen, ended up replacing the engine with a 140cc and it was a little rocket.

 

Picked up the kart for $250 today. Needs some work but for $250 who cares?

 

I know there are a bunch of motors out there I could put in. The Lifan are super nice. But my 70 is so quiet and the neighbors don’t mind. Once I drop in that 140 it’s gonna be to
much for the neighbors. Plus it’s kind of a badge of honor to keep that 70 going.

one day I’ll do a full rebuild.

also sweet go kart!

 

Crazy thing is I haven’t seen a 3 wheeler of any kind in a dang long time until
You posted yesterday. Well today on the way home from work there was two riding down the side of the road in the ditch today.

 

There is something about keeping an old Honda running for sure! I am actually going to hit up some Honda dealers this week, my truck will be paid off soon and I’m itching to get a CBR600rr. Issue is I have never rode one and I’m not exactly tall, going to sit on a few and see how they feel.

 

Winching out fallen timber from a swamp. Hauling trees and brush about half mile to dump away from the cabin. This is my old man's cabin in Michigan's U.P. Middle of nowhere. Been in the family since the forties and in the past 5 years we have been trying to clear around it. Taco really came in handy and was able to get in areas that my cousins Trail Boss would not be able to go. New Dynapro AT M's seemed to work good.

 

that’s a cool looking place.

 

Doing a little Turkey hunting. We have got a ton of rain. The ground is rotten from being so wet. The yota gets put in the mud a lot.

 

Yes, an ATC 70! My first three wheeler back in the 80's.

 

Hauling some cement blocks for my sons fire pit.

 

Turkey Taco

 

Did a drive by on those on the bike?

 

Yes, keep the Honda engine! The Chinese clones hold no comparison in terms of reliability and value. I’ve restored many of the horizontal Honda’s.

 

I merely threw the option out there because it’s an easy way to increase power numbers. I would never attempt to claim that aftermarket engines are more reliable than the original Honda’s.

 

Yard work today.

 

Had to fill some raised bed gardens last week. Right at or slightly over max capacity. Putting it through some work already and not even over the 2k mile mark yet.

 

Tacoma doing work... used my winch to lower a dump trailer

 

Doing that garden work. Laying down the blocks and soil to grow the inflation proof vittles.

 

Making the 4 banger earn it's keep. Oddly, it tows the load better in a trailer than it does if the load was in the bed.
