find.

Hello all. So, a few months back, i picked a up a literal frame and handlebars Trail Horse. Out at Wilmot Flea Market yesterday, I got something new. Its this. Its a NEARLY complete bike, with only needing an engine an chain, which i already have. So by the end of the day, ill bbe riding this...

Hello all. Thanks for having me. I'm new to the mini bike world. I was given a bare Doodlebug frame a few years ago, finally a couple months ago I got busy and got it on the road. Still want to do a hydraulic brake upgrade. Here is a picture of my 9 year old on it. No he doesn't ride it he...

Well As many of you know I've been having some problems getting my Thunderbird build off bike running. While at the flea Market today I ran across a guy that had a Tec 3.5HP that he got to use on a go kart but never got around to it. So I figured maybe I could use this engine for parts or maybe...

Add one more to the mini bike garden. Pick this one up off a new contact who deals in antiques. Called me up this morning. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet. :shrug:

Just found this Nova 671 Tote Gote stored away in a small barn. This gear drive set up is awesome! Gonna be a fun restore.

Found this Bonanza 1510 at the Portland show this year. Clean bike but missing the Hodaka engine gas tank and seat. Fenders are there but i'm missing the fender bracket. Forks are free now with a little lube and the chrome is good for a rider. I'm going to go through it and make a nice rider...

Picked up this "new" in box 10hp Tecumseh with a 1" straight shaft yesterday for $135. The guy showed me his receipt for $435. total from Northern Tool. He bought for a garden tractor but never got around to installing it. I'm sure I can think of a real good use for it as soon as the weather...

I went to get this go-kart and ended up getting this mini-bike, too. I only gave $20 for it so I figured what the heck. Anyone know what I have?

Carb and rear gas tank not original. I suspect the rear shocks are replacements. Cute critter, but what is it?

this is one these pics are the other

This was in my step dads barn. Argyle? Are part around for this? I hope to restore it one day.

I purchase this at a garage sale today for a new weekend project. I'm not sure what kind of mini bike or trail bike it is? I can't find any vin#'s or stampings. It has no engine plate. Only 4 small holes in the frame where a plate might go. Has front and rear hub brakes. Looks like Honda...

After hunting for 3 months for a Whirlwind, I finally found one. Other than a few scratches, its mint. Owner seldom rode it. Has the 4 hp Tecumseh and the torq-a-verter. All stickers intact too. LakeRaider

I picked up this nice old Power Dyne Falcon this morning. It is completely original (I think) the lady who had it said it was her husbands when he was a kid and hasn't ran in 30+ years. The seat is in mint condition. Brakes are operated by either the footpedal OR handle. Can't wait to get...

i just picked up this lil 2 1/2hp B&S from a guy up the road from me. $20, not bad. he said he took it off a lawn mower 25 or 30 yrs ago. it turns over, not sure about spark and it needs gas. ill see if i can get it started in the a.m.

A specific Engine or a specific bike? It seems that more times than not Mini bikes are sold with no Engine. Than you have the daunting task of trying to find the correct year and make of engine. What do you guys think?

Need some help on identifying a recent find, without pictures, yet. I have narrowed it down to a Taco, either a 44 or 100. I based this on pictures of rigs here and on the Taco site. The rig I found has front/rear suspension, jackshaft and a rear scrub brake only. Front "shocks" are at the...
