Um, I'm pretty sure Sym isn't touting the Wolf as an Enduro bike. Get some knobbies, at least...

Just happens to be the far end of a church parking lot near Joelton, Tn.
Babbling brook, shade-a-plenty, and woodpeckers the size of white leghorns,.. :thumbwink:
Even my co-pilot, Odie, enjoys the ride through hill-n-dale.

I've thought about picking up a helix. They come up for sale quite often in working order here for not a lot of money. I love the way they look.

The 24 Hour Scrapper Challenge is an event sponsored by my gang, Pseudomoto.
This second annual will take place May 2 & 3, 2015.
The object is to complete a 24-hour endurance race, with teams of 5 or 6 riders, and accumulate the most mileage.
Several rules apply.
Maximum of $500 allowed spent for bike.
This year's size limits the bike to 150cc's or less. (last year was 400cc's)
I have assembled a team of 5 others, with me as captain.
We have just bought a Passport, 1981, and an unknown 125cc motor.
If you recognize this motor based on the pix below, please let me know.
I was hoping for Lifan, but may have gotten Loncin, Zongchen, Hensing, or something else.
There are two gold-anodized pieces that would give a clue, the oil stick(hidden) and clutch cover....see pix
I could use some side covers and a front fender. I'll shop for those on the cheap.
Anyone who has Passport parts is welcome to respond.
I'll place an advert proper-like... :urban:

I wish you a very merry Christmas.... :hi:
Santa Claus is enroute to all you good boys and girls,
with sacks of all sorts of gifts,
so you better watch out,
and put out the cookies and milk.
Oh yeah, distinguish that fireplace, completely.

It was being loaded into the truck of the new owner when I called.
Never, in a long time, will this kinda deal happen for me...he was only asking $600... :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise:

This one did NOT get away... :thumbwink:
Picking it up tomorrow... :urban:

Edit: Upon arrival to buy this bike, it was immediately obvious that the pictures
in Craigslist were very flattering, and the seller gave me some very flattering
answers on the phone... :confused:
I did not buy it, mainly because the top-end had some crazy rattles and the power was way down.
$400 should have bought a sweet running bike...so I drove 170 miles and had lunch at McDonalds... :sad:
