Where are all the pictures for those of us who could not make it? Please share some pics......

 

[race]

Well, I'm mainly interested in two-stroke builds and there's less and less of them now. But here's a few pics I took.



A Steen's Matterhorn ( or is it a Taco 102 ? ) with Zundapp 5-speed engine from Justin. That would make a great project for someone.

The 'mystery' bike. The owner had no idea what it was and ended up putting a sign on it hoping someone at the show might know. Don't know if anyone did recognize it. You can see the top frame member is slotted to allow the bike to collapse down to a smaller size ... and throw in the trunk? Had a tiny two stroke engine with no identifying name or number. Small 4" wheels. Anybody here recognize it?

My fav. A Taco 44 (3rd gen) with a 4-speed Hodaka 90 stuffed into it. Check out that fatty pipe! They forgot to bring gas but were able to locate some just in time to light it up for the cacklefest.

Never even knew Heathkit got into minibikes. Trick little shifter on the top tube.

Spotted this one just as it was leaving. Not sure what frame but a nice little Mac mounted up. Yay for smokers!

"Joe’s Minibike Reunion

On behalf of the entire Joe’s Minibike Reunion team, we want to thank everyone for their support over the years!

At this time, we are moving on to spend more time with our family and friends.

We had a great run from 2012 to 2024. I would like to think that we helped share a spotlight on the mini bike and mini moto community. Our JMBR Hall of Fame and companion JMBR Podcast allowed us to recognize and celebrate many of the mini bike hobbies major movers and shakers!

We hope you had a good time and met some cool folks at JMBR. I hope to see you on the upcoming rides and meet-ups, and don’t forget to come say HI!

A special thanks to Boom Boom, Nikole, Dave, Max, Mikey, Ira, AJ, Mia, Jerry, Corey, Ernesto, Digger, Scott, D1 Productions, and all of the exhibitors and sponsors who helped!"

Major bummer! Was just looking around for the date of this year's show and saw the above on the website.

Problem is I'm unaware of another show like this in socal. Hopefully something new will take its place. I really liked displaying mine, seeing great minis and talking with people about the hobby
