    Funny what a few years can do to a mini bike

    I built a Harrison mini bike from scratch for the 2019 OldMiniBikes Buildoff..... Since then, I sold my house and bought a different house. I was forced to unload quite a few minis since the new house doesn't have the garage space that the old one did. I gave a few away, sold a few, and kept a few...

    Craftsman Decals

    Hi all! I ended up giving my dad a mini out of my garage before I moved and got rid of most of my stuff over the summer. I gave him a nice Sears Drover that he could play with. Does anyone know where to get some 3.5 hp Craftsman decals for it? Or maybe it's supposed to say "3.5 Horsepower" or...

    What do you use the "Resources" section for?

    I have been seeing the section called "Resources" and have been hesitant on adding something to it because I am really quite unsure what should be there. Are there any specific resources that should be there, or would any mini bike type of web site or source of a part be there? Just curious.

    Anything Goes! Scratch built Harrison

    I've been wanting to make a Harrison bike from scratch for a couple of years now and I figured now is the time. I've had some experience making forks and other parts for these bikes, but never a frame. Well, I'm all in now! Wish me luck! I'll sort out the other details as I go.

    The loss of a great web site?

    I went to look up an old scooter and noticed that the us scooter museum site is now gone? This is sad news to me.

    2019 Build Off?

    I think now is the time to speak up about a possible build off for 2019. I would love to participate this year, but as far as moderating the build off, it is time to pass on the torch. I would be willing help anyone that would like to step up to the plate with moderating and setting up.

    Ruttman Project

    I just completed my little Ruttman project. I took a frame and fork on trade in August and I immediately thought of a guy I used to work with. He had shown me a pic of himself on a mini somewhere around 1971 or 1972. I used the pic for my inspiration. Here is how I got the frame.

    Tecumseh hs50 cam

    I received a ball bearing HS engine that was not running. After some disassembly, I noticed that the can is broken. My question is how do I know what cam belongs in the engine? I'm not even real confident that the engine is an hs50. I know the shroud can identify the engine, but not too...

    Suspension forks

    I've seen people put these suspension forks on their mini bikes before, but I don't have anything to put them on at the moment. I've taken some pics with measurements. $20 plus shipping cost.

    General 5.30/4.30-6 Tires

    I have a couple of General 5.30/4.30-6 tires that someone might be interested in. They came off a Rupp TT500 originally. They have some cracks when you push down on the tires but good tread. They also have the tubes but unsure how good or bad they are. Pics are from both sides of each tire...

    Azusa Hex Star Wheel

    I have this Azusa Hex Star wheel that I probably will never use. Looks like it's painted white (that's how I acquired it a few years ago) $25 plus the ride on your dime. Thank you, Pat
