I remember that ad clear as day now. I remember thinking that seat was the bomb.

Now that I see it again, it's not an early 99! It looks like a Westbend powered late 99, but embellished by the artist with more extreme features! With more rake and a more stylish seat, but that's the bike I lusted for as a 12 year old!

Wow bike really looks good.
i breifly owned a go cart back in the day with twin west bend engines. Both had missing flywheels and i could never find replacements (stoneage, pre-internet)

Taco 99

Thanks guys,for the thumbs up..........means a lot.
Now,how do I get rid of this thing?
Neighbor kids think it's a toy and they can just throw a leg over and go........right thru the fence.:no:
Got another one with a West Bend 700 and even it is too much for a mini of this type.
Painting it purple to match the Taco line,then maybe a go at selling 'em both.
