Should it not be focused on a group of people who have found a way to have a lot of fun inexpensively? I don't care whether Chinese or US. We have a great forum through the generosity of Hent. It’s all about the ride for me. I loved restoring the Tote Gote, but my next purchase may be a Doodle Bug with a 6.5.
Yes they suck in air and spit it out the back of the exhaust. Gererally alot faster than those of yesteryear.
BTW Im currently looking for a basket case Mini or something pretty cheap so I can start an old school build. I really do like some of the older mini on here. But everybody around here wants an arm and a leg for anything running. Usually a frame some junk 5hp briggs and they think its $300-500

You mean like "minibikes in general.com"? Maybe there should be a "Old mini bike" section since the "general" section ain't working, even with a DB section! Do you see any classic bikes spamming the DB section?

So.... I guess we need some new sections to properly compartmentalize the posters... I suggest:
Old Frames with New Parts.
Subsection: Old Frames with Foreign Parts
New Frames with Old Parts.
Old Frames with Custom Parts.
Custom Frames with Old Parts.
New Frames with Custom Parts.
Subsection: New Frames with Foreign Parts
Custom Frames with New Parts.
Subsection: Custom Frames with Foreign Parts
Hacked Frames with Old Parts.
Subsection: Hacked Frames with Foreign Parts
Hacked Frames with New Parts.
I'm sure we could have more... just to keep everyone in their proper place.ut:

Guess what just happened?
My Ozzy brother in law called me tonight and was working down the street, His pressure washer died for no reason (Robin engine) and he broke the starter rope.
I could have said "DROP A CLONE IN IT!" But I says come on down and we fix. He comes in the garage and see's 20 something mini's and his eyes pop out. I ask him "does it look like I have a problem?" :biggrin: so we go over all the makes and years then fix his pressure washer (cord and water in gas)
THEN he says can we ride these? So I ask if he ever rode one and he says he hasn't been on a bicycle in 20 years and never drove a "motor bike" before . ,,,,,,,,so I give him the DB to ride :laugh: I figured if he dumps it who cares and it has a Tav 2 so he can't burn the clutch. :wink:
He starts off doing laps at two MPH then I say ok now air it out so he got faster and faster then it got to the point where he was going too fast. :doah: Boy was he hooked, he was talking to the neighbors saying "isn't this great mate?". :thumbsup:
Of all the bikes he liked a few of the bigger ones and kept going back the Taco because of the metal flake seat which reminded him of his Stingray when he was a kid. I think he called it metalized. I told him there where one or two brands of mini's available in Australia and he really wanted to get one of those bad.
Anyway, he wants to come back and ride some more . "cheers" as they say down under:drinkup:
