The Boss Cat Legacy

look there for info on arctic cat bikes they were built in thief river falls mn for many years then i think it was this company that did the last few years of them Allied Leisure Corp . arctic is still building off road machines but they have quit making any minibike stuff . side note they used to make bicycles and lawn mowers too at one time . was told that from people who worked there back in the 60s and 70s .

This site has a pictures section that pretty well has pics for all the mini bike brands out there. I think The Bug Flea is credited with being the first mini bike. :shrug:
