I spent a lot of time on one of these:
I had a thing for old Margay carts many years ago. I'm not sure why I never followed through.. have a couple of 80cc water cooled dirt bike motors around here that are screaming for an old kart frame.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

I've been searching for a used minibike...as soon as the pop up for under 200 dollars they vanish just as quick. There is a restorer in the area and I think he buys up everything....I want one for my boy bad...but it dont look like thats gonna happen anytime soonIf you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

I have rode them when I was under 300#.. can sit with no rear brakes or shifting or stand with your ass in the air..
Fun! He put training wheels on 2 for his neices.. He has one 50 he put heavier shocks on and lift the bars up..
Every time one came up for sale, the good ones were snatched up or cost almost new.. He just bought new and saved himself the hassle of somebody's abuse..

When I was 14 Illinois passed a law that you could ride a scooter with no license required at age 14, a Buddy of mine and I pooled our paper route money and bought a used Cushman Eagle, Illinois repealed the law a month or two later!Last edited by Grumpy; December 17, 2013, 05:46 PM.sigpic
