finally

Had to take some of the toys out so I thought I would share a pic. Garage is done and they are back in. I was going to take the Mustang out for a ride but the brakes are frozen. A project for another day. I guess that is her way of telling me that I don't take her out enough. :shrug:

Stationed out here in Idaho and was looking for a light weight solution to reach old mining camps. Found a doodlebug and threw a 212 predator and some upgrades. Cant wait to take on another project!! Downside is DMV is giving me hell and I need my OHV sticker...:hammer:

Finally registered after reading all the good info on these discussions...and a big thanks to all the mini bike gurus on here..I've been building bikes(or anything with a motor) for years.... wife and I loaded or box truck full of minis and went to windber for the first time this year ,had a...

To think... Less than a year ago last July, I picked up this ARCO Easyrider locally on Craigslist, not knowing shit about it or this amazing hobby we all enjoy. I chose it over a Doodlebug the same guy was selling because I liked it's ratty look and the stretched frame fit my adult size a...

With the help of some members of this forum and a lot of internet research, I have finally purchased a Gilson/Wards XE 525 core, a couple of Gilson parts bikes, and assembled (I think) all of the parts needed to restore it. I had a new one when I was a kid so I am trying to create a faithful...

I have been looking for Coleman Sport Bike 5.30 for a couple of years and I finally got one today! Thanks OldMiniBikes and especially CandyBandit!

... andbBoy, isn't she pretty!? I've not done a lot of research yet, but it's about the nicest survivor VT-8 I've ever seen This beauty popped up on Craigslist in Knoxville and I had David Wulf pick it up for me (He's a hell of a guy!). The seller said it was never put all the way together. I'm...

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are back on TV!! Yes its only on Amazon but who dosent have Amazon by now anyway!! https://www.amazon.com/The-Grand-Tour-Teaser-Trailer/dp/B01J94A5GQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1476030232&sr=1-1&keywords=the+grand+tour

Hello members, I finally got a rupp to restore, I always wanted one as a kid and now that I'm going on 56 and saw one on Craig's list I bought one, I know I over paid and its in rough shape but it does run, however I'm not sure what year or model it is. I think it is a 71 or newer roadster but...

Been scrounging for awhile. Decided it was time. I am currently building a nitro 44 that has been changed around to suit my needs. Its in the diygk buildoff right now and all i got left is the torque converter setup, bolt on brakes, and fuel tank mount and shes ready for testing. I have...

The Speedway Super Bitch is finally done!

We are exited to get our first minibike (the kids and I).....but we just don't know what it is. Seems to be in good condition, but needs an engine. I'd like to know more about it if anyone can help fill in the blanks....make, model, year, appropriate engine & color, seat, etc.... Thanks...

I'm 63 years old and finally did the ultimate small engine mistake :doah::ohmy::doah: - after changing my riding lawnmower oil a few weeks ago, apparently I did not completely tighten the oil plug. So while idleing today, I heard a sharp BANG and the engine quit. Yep, the oil had leaked out. I...

Now ya gotta admit when you see this Drift trike conversion that the MTD's have it going on with that big flat plate at the axle mounts. Easy conversion. Thing actually looks cool. 125cc with 4 speed manual clutch. Here's the link, maybe someone can blow them up and post them. Looks like it has...

OMG if i ever came across these I could finally ride! Heehee. This is awesome. I'm sure its been posted here already but couldnt find it. By the way, one of mine has a flat seat like this. I was told it was original. So yeah i think they did sell a flat seat.

Hey everyone, looks like the 2016 Build off is gonna happen after all! :smile: We should have the classes and rules posted this evening for anyone interested. Thank you and good luck! Pat and Bill

My name is Jack Howard from Lansing Michigan and I just got a Mini Bike, I told wife it was for the grand son but actually it is for me. It is a old Gilson - Wards 525 with a 3 1/2 horse Briggs and Stratton engine. I cleaned up the carburator and it runs nice. The bike still has the Riverside...
