New from Bama

Hey guys! I've been lurking for a couple of days and decided to join. I don't have a mini yet but I have a lead on one for free. I picked up a Briggs 5 horse today from my mini bike lead that wouldn't start. I pulled the flywheel and the key was sheared. I put another one in and started it up.It smoked a little so I'm going to rebuild it. I have a 69 Wheel Horse garden tractor that is going to be a toy so I may put the Briggs on it. The M18 Kohler I was going to use is to big. I'll keep you posted on the mini bike annd post pics if it goes as planned.

Ride On! I wish there was enough interest to have a swap meet. It does not seem like there are near as many people into the mini bike scene down here.

I agree. Only stuff you see around here for sale anyway,are doodlebugs and the like. I think from what I have seen,there is about 5-6 alabama folks here. Need more interest. Anyway,what a beautiful day in L.A.(Lower Alabama)

Thanks guys! I haven't seen the mini that I may get. It is the son to a guy I used to work with that lives near me.It may turn out being a doodlebug or something.Not much intrest around monkeytown. A swap meet would be cool. You guys that live around where they have swap meets and shows are lucky. Later

The mini bike turned out to be a mini atv.Oh well,I told him I would take it anyway. Maybe able to use some parts like disc brakes on one when I find it or maybe get it running and trade for a mini bike.
