I gues ive got about 5 mini bikes mini cycles. way to many motorcycles around 25, a nice rupp gokart for future use. motors range fron 2hp briggs up to 1200 cc kaw drag motors.i been hooked for years, ever since my dad pulled the motor from his rototiller and put it on my new 20 inch bike. since then at least 100 motorized bikes of one form or the other. the minis still give me as much fun as watching the drag bike go down the track. its to much fun to create and then assemble a new mini then find some kid to play with it. im a pretty large guy and dont fit so good on them. people say i make my harley look like a mini.LOL take care all. jonnybiker

Make up your mind LOL
Having a bunch of mini bikes is a cool deal but you can only ride one at a time LOL
What I have is all the tools .a wire feed Lincoln 175 weld pac and a Miller 180SD tig machine and a Pro Tools air over Hydraulic tubing bender and a tube notcher , drill presses and a B&D chop saw :hack: and a small Lathe . But its is just so cold out there in the shop you have to wear gloves to use a grinder hurry spring time :smile:. Great to see all the restored mini's and the commitment to reviving a fun past and adding new adventures too . Steve

MAN it was fun!!!
