Hey Tom. I was thinking of heading south to the Pomona swap meet in 2 weeks. Is this a good place to find a lot of old minibike parts?

When I was about 13 around 1970 I got a brand new Taco 22. I put some serious miles on that thing. When I was 15 my dad asked me if I would sell it because his bosses son wanted a minibike. I had a new Kawasaki 90 so I sold the Taco 22 for $75. What the hell was I thinking?

I'm assuming this 3 HP Briggs is no longer available but I had to ask??

Sweet engine! This looks like the same engine that was on my New Taco 22 back around 1970. Let me know if you want to sell it. Thanks.

I just found the pictures of the Mickey Bike as it was when I bought it. I'll post one here, but I have more on my profile now. One thing I have noticed is the seat has a hinged piece of plywood beneath it. I think this may be an original design because I saw another old picture of a Mickey Bike...
