    Cat mini bikes

    Weld...yes, the best solution....but then they wouldn’t be "removable" as boasted in the H.P.E Cat catalog and ads. Why was that a feature to boast about? Maybe so you could fit the bike in the trunk of a car to transport to riding grounds?? I don't know. The cost of having chrome...

    Just found a pic of my dad on my old Go Kart

    That's priceless. I love the bare feet. I always had to wear shoes when I rode my go-kart because my shoes were my brakes. My dad bought the primitive solid tire (non-pneumatic tires) kart sans brakes and equipped with a worn-out Clinton engine, which gave out shortly. When the kart...

    Cat mini bikes

    I like those forks :scared: They remind me of riding my 400x when I was a kid while trying to "catch some air" over a small bump in the trail, snapping the two bolts holding the "removeable" handle bars on. I do recall that riding a mini-bike with a set of detached handle bars in your...

    2 seater gokart I picked up

    Do you have any idea what vintage/brand it is. Interesting how the steering linkage is below the frame and floor pan. I've been trying to find the one and only picture I have of my go kart I had back in 1968.

    Mini-bike on Dumb & Dumber ...who knows...

    what brand bike that is? This has probably been discussed here before but.... The mini-bike scene in the movie Dumb & Dumber is one of my fav parts of that movie - does anyone know what brand mini-bike they are riding? It looks like it might have an Azusa 3-spoke mag type wheel on the...

    Introduction - and Cat mini-bike questions..

    Thanks Dodge for the info - I appreciate the offer and I may look you up on a sprocket. The seat man sounds like the way to go - what's a ball park figure on a seat. It's early in my search but I haven't been able to find my front axle and nuts (for the mini-bike :wink:) so I'll check...
