    MINI BIKES ANYONE?? lets see yours...

    Here are a few pix of my Sensation Mini Chopper. I restored it a few years ago but it had wear showing from many fun rides and one unintentional wheelie mishap due to my fat ass. So here it is redone again this time in its original color.

      Better off buying a little 50, Honda makes a good one.. Used ones tend to be abused.. Good ones can be found.. New is around $12-1500 .. Payment plan is swingable ..

She was helping distribute them not sure how well that went. It was fun to ride although not "cool" and it folded up pretty small.

                        Redid this early prototype large frame 1960's Rupp for my kids.

                        5hp Tecumpseh with torque converter. I picked it up complete for for less than the cost of the converter alone. I stripped it to bare metal, fixed the broken neck and wheel bearings, repainted, welded on the fender and seat brackets, added a kickstand, and went through the motor. It is reliable, safe, fast, and tons of fun now.

                        ...zooom...zooom!

                        Beginning...



                        Middle...



                        End...

                            Solutions are often obvious once you get the questions right.

                              I got pretty geeked up about this Kawasaki 75 in the pits:
