Stormin 4,458 #1 Posted August 14, 2020 Had a trip down to South Wales the last few days, to see Carol's new found sister and family. They are farmers and while being nosey looking through the buildings, I came across this 38yr old SWM 125 TL trials bike, where it had been for 20yrs. After a pressure wash it looked a lot better, but in desperate need of a LOT of T.L.C. Minus front wheel and handlebars it fitted nicely in the back of the car, so found it's way north to a new home.

nigel 1,876 #2 Posted August 14, 2020 That’s a nice find Norm👍🏻 Are you going to restore it, 2 stroke ? Has it a rotax engine in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 1,273 #3 Posted August 14, 2020 Thought you would be poking around the farm Norm. Doesn't look too bad apart from the front forks. Tractors not so easy to fall off though, especially at your age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #4 Posted August 14, 2020 Rotax engine. 2 stroke, Nigel. Non runner. Engines free but no spark. I'm going to leave the engine for later. Long way to go yet. 1 expeatfarmer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel 1,876 #5 Posted August 15, 2020 Nice project though Norm, I did an old beamish Suzuki once but had to drastically change the gearing for the road Rims and spokes look ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #6 Posted August 15, 2020 Bit more done today. Now starts the real work. Cleaning things up. Seeing what needs replacing. Sourcing parts. Not to mention the money. Do I paint or powder coat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
