Hello All I am a newbie of sorts... My name is Dennis Live in South San Diego for about 22 years now I am a newbie in that I am fairly new to this hobbie, I built my first one from a kit about 5 years ago, played with it a bit and kind of put it away. Now I am ready to get it out and dust it...

Hi, I’m new to the forum and new to minibikes. My involvement with old minibikes came about because of my interest in motorcycles sold by the Montgomery Wards department stores. My first motorcycle (about 50 years ago) was a Wards Riverside Mojave made by Benelli. A little over ten years ago...

Hello everyone. I just finished "refreshing" my Murray Track 2 and used this site often in the last couple weeks. So let me start out by saying thank you to all for your help. My name is Dave and I live in Connecticut. I like to tinker with small equipment [snow blowers, quads, tractors...

Hi everyone, Originally I joined back when I got my first mini and with the help of the forum I got it race ready. Never did an introduction then and wasn't very active here. Turned into a lurker for a few years but I'm back. This time I plan on sticking around awhile so I figured I...

Hello - My name is Scott and I am new back on the site. We had some mini bikes when my kids were little, now they have both left to go to college and I have picked up a couple to work on. Me and both boys have motorcycles and have always had some toys, we all love to tinker. I picked up a...

I have a Forest Service cabin in Arizona. My next door neighbor sold his cabin. He was just to old and couldn't keep it up. His 3 grown boys wanted nothing to do with it. The new owner opened the shed and along with a bunch of vintage tools was a Manco Thunderbird - 3.5 HP. He gave it to me...

Hello everyone, my name is Ellis and I am a retired veteran of 22 years as an Army Aviation mechanic and have been building things for quite some time. I would like to offer any advice I may have with any issues you may encounter.:thumbsup:

Greetings Forum Fiends, Apparently i signed up for this forum some time ago, totally don't remember this. Oh well. I am a 29 yr old student near Lincoln, NE. About a year ago, my sister-in-law called me and said she found a "little motorized thingy" for 30$. I wish i still had the original...

Hi, my name is Joe, I am addicted to motorcycles, I want to start a new addiction to mini bikes.

I have ( hopefully) attached a PDF file which is an article about the engine from the magazine "KARTING WORLD" I'm thinking Briggs must have a very similar commercial engine and they do have a Vanguard motor of the same displacement. Is this the same motor such that it shares parts with...

Hey all, I'm fairly new to the mini bike world. Yeah at 56yrs. I'm a newbie. I currently have 3 mini bikes that I'm working on. First is a Nitro 44 mini drag bike with the Predator 212 motor, second I have a Doodle bug 30R that's a work in progress. And my third is a Cat 250X the I picked up...

Y'all may have seen some of my work on Facebook and I know LS Customs has gave me a shout out on here about my Hemi rockers. But I do mostly engine work including...

Hi there guys, i've been lurking this forum occasionally for a while now, especially the great old family photos thread, but today finally got an account as i just got my first minibike! I've wanted one for a few years now, and today finally convinced my friend and neighbor to let go of his. Not...

I'm Max, I live in Denver, CO, and I'm 16. I'm new to mini bikes (got my first one about 5 days ago) but I'm already obsessed with the hobby. Aside from that, I work as a sign spinner at a vape shop, and I love to vape.

Just getting ready to purchase two old Super Bronc off road bikes. They are in sad shape, well used and will be two project bikes that look like a lot of fun. Both bikes have rear racks and 8hp motors. I may choose to do the first in a "Rat Bike" mode just for the fun of it. In other words...

Hello all. New member here. looks like an interesting place. Hope to get some good ideas and find out where to get whatever.

Just joining and wanted to intro myself. Recently found, in my dads garage, a small Kawasaki (I believe it to be a KV75 or Dynamite??) that me and my brother had as kids around 1976. I'm not sure what qualifies as a minibike but trusting this will. Anyway, I now want to work on getting the...

Hello, I grew up on a Cat but figured my mini biking days were done 30 years ago. My son will be five years old soon so I decided to start looking for a Cat or something similar for him. What I found instead was a '72 Super Bronc VT-7 in good, mostly original condition. Man, what a neat...
