Wayne's other Restore Projects Even though restoring a Jiger is the most important project of mine, restoration is something that I have always loved. As far a recreational vehicles, here are some other standing projects that I am enjoying.
In 2001 I was riding in the Manitoba Sandy Lands with my friend Gil with his Honda XR200 and his 1974
Suzuki TS-125. The Suzuki was on it's last legs. The compression was almost gone, the kick start was gone, the shifter kept falling off, the clutch cable was seized and the clutch was done. When Gil gave it to me I thought I would just get it running to bomb around. But little by little over the past 4 years I've been replacing it all. It's been fun and I hope to be riding hard this spring. A quick tally? I've redone the top end of the motor, points and condenser, clutch fibers, clutch pins, clutch cable, carburetor rebuild, new lower engine case seals, new fenders, new rear shocks, new paint job, custom wiring harness, new headlight, and a new seat. It's been a great ride.
Before I was even born my Dad purchased this TRYCAT three wheeler from a local Manitoba manufacturer. It much resembled the Sperry Wedge. It ran on a Briggs & Stratton 8hp with a belt drive. Years of use and a few "acts of God" have taken there toll. This unit is sitting and waiting for it's day to shine.
