[sludgeboy]

hahahaha, your awesome. I wanted to Thank Sludgeboy for driving for two hours one way to pick up a survivor Bonanza BC1500sh for me in a verrrrry short notice so i didnt miss out on the buy. Just wanted to let everyone know there are some very awesome people still in the mini bike world. Thanks again Sludgeboy and post a pic if you want.

You're Welcome. Glad to help out anytime.

Never saw that pic before....That's cool to know. I guess it makes the pull start more accessible.

Here is a pic that AJ posted out of a mag. Very kool, see they also used the handle bar holder as a pull start holder too.

Very nice find. Can't be many of these left. I wonder; did they all come with the 2 1/2 HP Tecumseh? I'm also curios as to what the top speed was.

i believe they all came with 2-1/2 hp tec's because of that cool exhaust and top speed was 25mph.

slywilliez, thanks. Not bad speed for that little bike. I bought a Tecumseh H35 (3 1/2 HP) with that side exhaust a while back. I believe it's early 70's and was told it was part of a bunch purchased for a school shop class. The previous owner worked for the school it came from and said it may have perhaps 10 hrs. time on it. Might have overpaid at $250. I guess you could call it an "impulse buy" and I'm not really sure if I'll ever use it but time will tell I guess.
