Minibike Fever

Spring time is here.... kinda. And I'm getting the itch to start gathering more minibikes.

I talked to a guy that I work with and he wants to make a trade with me for my Manco Trike.
He has a 13 year old boy, who's tired of his old minibikes. And wants something different.

Going over to his place tomorrow morning to see exactly what he has. I haven't seen any pictures of what this guy has, but he said two of them are Ruttmans. And one of the ruttmans is a chopper. I asked him how he knew that for certain and he said one says it right on the bike and he researched images on the other.

I'm hoping for the best, but I won't know for sure until tomorrow.

I'll post pictures if the deal works out.

I can't wait to see the finds. I'm also getting the itch. A guy around me with a couple of the z50 clones brand new he is selling for 450. I kinda want one. Street legal would be fun. I kinda like pissing the neighbors and cops off in around me. Lol

What you should be doing right now, all of you!, at the very least is checking your local CL ads for the plethora of cheap snowblowers with tasty vintage engines on em. Now is the time. Got my eye on 3 of em. All 60's Tecumsehs and all $60 or less. Tis the season!!

That's funny you should say that. I just drove by a guys house who I know has a bunch of older two stage snow blowers.
Last time I stopped in there he said he'd sell almost any one of them for under $60.

You see you guys get all the nice stuff out there. No snow blowers out this way in Cali. I even got my mother in Wisconsin to pick up a nice old motor for me...its still sitting in her garage....LOL

I got two today, one Flying"O" MTD like the SS400 and one Tote gote like bike I have yet to identify but it's going to my buddy and fellow member but a lurker who never posts. He will pay the same as what I paid, many members here own some of his former minibikes and parts after he old them to me for a fair price.

well the deal fell through. funny how people are told by somebody that they have somethingand it turns out to be something completely different.

he did have 3 mini bikes, two of them were speedways, and one was a manco thunderbird. all three of them were in really rough shape, so I had to pass.
