    What is this 1969 "Simko" snowmobile minibike thing?

    It's not really a minibike...but it has a 5hp Briggs on it so maybe it's close enought to be ok? Haha. That and I figure this place is my best shot at ID'ing it. So, they say it's called a Simko. I've never seen anything like it before. But it's way cool. Someone said it could be a...

    Really cool British minibikes from World War II

    I stumbled across this on youtube and thought it was really cool. They are known as the Welbike made by Excelsior Motor Company. They dropped these things out of airplanes with some of the airborne divisions! So damn cool if you ask me... News Film from 1943...

    What is the difference between a Briggs 3hp and a "sport 3"?

    What makes them a sport model? Mine also has a Turbo Torque crank extension and clutch on it. I cannot find any information on it.

    Needed: Straight Forks

    My forks are bent on my Bird Wren. If I try to fix them, I know I'll just screw them up more. So, I need some new forks. I don't care if they are original or not. And if someone had some sprung forks, that would be cool too. Either way, let me know what you have and price shipped to 01543...

    Can I do anything with a Sport 3?

    Found this Briggs Sport 3 on craigslist and the price seemed fair to me so I went and checked it out. Fired right up and ran quiet so I bought it. I had no intension of modifying it but if I can get a few more hamsters out of it i'd be pretty siked. Anything I can do to hot it up?

    Straightening non-sprung forks?

    So I picked up a new bike and the forks are a bit tweaked. One handle bar is pointed in more and there is a slight bend in the down tubes. Is there a good way of correcting this? Or is correcting it called new forks? Input = appreciated! Thanks

    MA: looking for suspended minibike project/roller

    I am looking to build another minibike. Ive been looking around on craigslist but there only seems to be overpriced junk lately. I really dont care what it is as long as it rolls and has suspension. Id like to keep it under $200. Thanks

    Another what is it and is it worth it

    I'm looking for my next minibike project and this seems cool. Thought it was a rupp roadster or a black widow but in the picture, it looks like the rear frame tube is square. It is full suspension which is what im looking for but it looks rough. And to me, the asking price is a bit steep...

    My Suzuki MT50 Trailhopper

    This was my first bike. Ive had it for 10 years now and its time to start restoring this. Ive already aquired a bunch of NOS stuff as well as genuine parts and service manuals. I noticed a few other members on here have these too and I should consider myself lucky as mine is complete. But it...

    What kind of Arctic Cat is this?

    I thought it was a Climber but it may be a combination of bikes. The tank says Climber, the steering neck is stamped and it also says Climber. But after a bunch of people telling me its not, and me looking at pics of Climbers...I dont think it is. Can you guys help me figure out what I have...

    Where to start with Arctic Cat Climber project...lots of questions

    So, I am just about ready to start digging into my Arctic Cat Climber. But Im not too sure where to start. It seems most of the parts for this machine I do not have a hope or a dream of finding or they are super expensive. So an all origional restore might be out of the question. But...
