Got this off Craigs list today,id tag says Manco 573-00.What year are these made?

I went to look at some tractor parts today for my Father-in-Law and came home with something else. The tractor parts were really nice, just not correct for the one he is restoring, worth a try though. I saw that he had a mini bike roller off in the corner and I asked if it was for sale and he...

I hope everyone did. Go out and make a choice or someone else will choose for you.

It was advertised as a 1967 Sears. Do you think that is what it is/was? Or JC Penny? And I think I read that a company called 'Bird MFG' actually made these? And under other names? Trying to decide what to do with it. I have no idea what the seat is from? Original or replacement wheels? It...

Guy says it runs and claims it's a Rupp . I have no idea what kind it is but I'm headed that way to pick it up

wishing my mad money fund wasn't so depleted.........

Fall is on its way and I felt like I was running out of good riding days so I just rode to work. Its only about 5mi. Small towns have their benefits!

My aunt called me today and said she was at a yardsale, and they had a mini bike. She said it didn't have a motor, but looked like it might clean up. I asked for a description, but she has no idea what she's looking at, so she said "It says R-U-P-P.". I replied "Where is it? I'm on my way!"...

Doing a little trimming

Got this from a buddy of mine today. He needed room so being the nice person that I am I bought it:devil2:. "Hi my name is Ray Johnson and I am a mini bike addict.:anon.sml:"

And again no pics, got the camera but need to get a new card. This K&S Hornet Deluxe is very buildable with working brake and Comet clutches but no engine or seat, still has great Sebac seat shocks too. I have a Hardtail Deluxe and two standard Hornets here already, one of the standards is my...

Neat to have a US vintage. Really looking forward to this project. First two pics are the original ad pics, rest are just quick shots for comparison next to a Doodle Bug.

Found a nice old Clinton, a Sears Craftsman Tecumseh and the one in the middle is a Jacobsen 2 cycle. Plus a nice old exhaust. $100 for all. All have spark. Anyone know anything about this Jacobsen? A part of me thinks its not that old but it kind of does look old. The guy I bought it from...

Last night, I saw an ad for a $50 mini bike. I always call about these, because they'll sometimes lead to some good buys. The guy said he was talking to a buyer right then but would call me if the guy didn't take it. Today, I got a text message from a different guy asking if I wanted to buy a...

Got a decent coleman 2.40 today with a saxonette sachs motor. got it to pop over. Tank is rough but will clean up. Also got a Arctic cat whisker roller. Not sure whats in store for these gems. :shrug::scooter::drinkup:

Sounds like it was suicide. :sad: I always loved his dramatic characters more than the funny ones. Moscow on the Hudson, Awakenings and Dead Poets Society were some of my favorites.

World Trade Center Slideshow by oldfatguy | Photobucket We took the ferry from Jersey City over to NYC . I took some good photos and video and thought that I would share them with those of you that live too far and have never been there.

And took a couple pics:

Saw this posted today for $250, OBO, said it didn't need anything but a chain link removed, I offered $175, we settled on $200. Needs quite a bit more, but it is drive-able as is. Upon a quick search, someone told me what it actually was, and that they came originally with 220 CC snowmobile...
