    Hi everyone, I got the hankerin' to relive my childhood. I'm sure some one out there knows that feeling! I had what I think was some kind of bonanza 1400 and had a ball with it.

    Possible Newbie dumb question

    Hate to ask a question that could be really dumb but basically was wondering if its possible to put a 49cc engine on a typical mini bike frame? I want to do this so I can legally ride it in colorado without needing to register it and get a motorcycle license.

    I started my son on a DB30 two years ago. He fooled around with it some, then recently expressed a surge of interest. The picture below is my response to that. I think motors, karting and mini bikes are cool ways for kids to learn and express themselves. So fun VROOOMMM!!!
