    Texas / New Mexico Meet and Greet?

    So... I don't even have a bike yet... working on it, but not yet. But seeing as Texas was never really a mini bike state (not as much as Cali or the east coast), I want to bring mini biking to Texas in 2013. So here's my proposal... Is there any interest / desire in starting an annual or...

    Roller Frame

    It's probably common knowledge by now, but I thought I put it up and see what happens. Looking for a roller frame, not too picky on year / make. Looking for something around $100, doesn't have to be perfect. This will be a project bike and I'll have enough in it already, I can't spend...

    Found a frame!!

    Ok, I'm already hooked and have all but dropped the idea of a Z50...... for now :devil2: So I was doing some searching and found a frame. It's 3 hours away, but it's $25. Forks, frame, and engine plate. I think my first build is going to just be a "put it together" kinda thing. Anyone...

    Am I missing something?

    Ok, so I'm new here, trying to get a feel for the community. Could someone clarify the base of members here? I'm really into Honda Z50's, but it seems like they're frowned upon here? :shrug: I'll be honest.... I had never heard of a Rupp, Taco, or Azusa mini bike until about a week ago...
