This week I bought my new motorcycle to redo for my project. Other than that nothing else has really been happening. I have been really busy and haven't had anytime to work on it because my family is in the process of moving. I don't really know how far im going to get on this motorcycle in the little amount of time i have left. Hopefully i can at least get it running i know i wont have enough time to do a full restoration on it before the project is over but ill hope for the best.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to scrap the ts 125 idea and begin a new motorcycle due to cost and unavailability of parts. i am pretty sure that i have a new bike lined up from one of my dads friends that i am going to buy. It is still going to be a Suzuki just a more common one that will be easier to find parts for. I'm almost sure it is a Suzuki 100 but it a street bike more than an off road bike. Hopefully everything works out and i get the bike.

So last week i went to the auction that i have been talking about for almost the last month. i didn't end up being the best me and my dad went to it but it was on a rainy day. it was all muddy out and we didn't stay for long. there wasn't even a lot there probably because of the rain. i found no parts so it was basically a waste of a day. I don't really know what im going to do now i am missing parts and i cant do anything until i gt them and im running out of time. so my project is looking pretty bleak as it sits today.

tomorrow is my auction that i have mentioned in my last couple posts. I hope to find some useful parts for my motorcycle so that i can get somewhere on it. if i don't then well..... that's not good. My only other option is to possibly find a parts bike at a junkyard but i wouldn't even know if they had that exact bike. so hopefully tomorrow i can find the parts so i wont have to do that.

This week was a really slow and depressing week for my project. I Have found almost all of the parts that i need online to put it back together. Unfortunately though these part are gong to cost an excess of ...well lets just say a lot of money. So basically now i have make this amount of money or somehow find these parts cheaper which is extremely difficult because the parts are so specific. But through all of the disappointments there is hope for my project. Next week Nov 1 and 2nd is a auction for all kinds of things related to motorcycles, snowmobiles etc... i hope and pray to find even some of these parts a little cheaper so i can put this bike back together.

this past week i learned that an upcoming motorcycle auction/ show is going to be relatively close by to me. The show is called A1 and it features a ton of motorcycles and basically anything with things a motor. I hope to buy most of my parts for my ts125 at this show. im going to need a left side clutch cover which i have found on eBay but they are very expensive and i need two know tires and a couple other little things. once i have these items i can finally put everything back together and see if it runs(hopefully). also the auction is on November 1st and 2nd so i will be updating my blog as soon as i go to the auction and find out if they have a specific parts i need.
