First off, let me start by saying a big howdy to everyone here, I'm a long-time lurker, but a newbie coming into minibikes (never had one, but I HAD a motorized bike!). I've always toyed with small engines, particularly older Briggs & Stratton's I've found in the dump/side-o'-the-road/etc...

Hey All, My name is John and I live in SoCA. I have been lurking here for a while gaining information and knowledge. I am interested in building a mini bike with my kids. I am trying to get them off the couch and their iDevices, and learn something. I think a vintage looking mini bike fits...

Greetings from Syracuse, NY As I stand before the group and state "My name is Stephen and I am addicted to motorized things that have 2 wheels" I keep my hands busy by doing work on older Single's, Twin's, Triple's, and Four's in my shop. I have a full time job and this is just a hobby...

Hello, I'm 61 and live in the south central part of Indiana. I have been away from mini bikes for 30 plus years. My son-in-law reintroduced me to the fun of these little machines. He has a couple of vintage bikes, I at the moment do not. The search is on. Not sure what mini I will find but the...

Hi, just registered and wanted to introduce myself. Actually I'm new at this, but as a kid (many, many years ago) I had a few mini bikes -as did the guys I hung around with. And now it seems as though most of the kids and even some older teenagers in my neighborhood have been bitten by the...

Hey everybody just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi. I'm Mark from San Jacinto, Ca. I started out many moons ago on a Taco 22. Rode the wheels off that thing when I was a kid. Since then I've had some different motorcycles and scooters, but never lost my love for Minis. Well now that...

Hi, I've been lurking around here so thought I should introduce myself. I'm 54 and been tinkering with about anything motorized since age 12. I picked up this rolling frame minibike and found a parts motor and then a short block to pep it up. I rode big bikes when I was younger but I never...

Good evening, I found this site to trying to figure out what I have. There is a sticker on top of the triple tree that says it is an MTD machine I recently got some stuff from a collecter with a shed and yard full of stuff. This bike was a part of a group of stuff I brought home. To make my...
