I was this morning when I was leaving for work. Two houses up from mine, leaning against the neighbors trash bin, was this little jewel. I backed back to my house, got out, and walked it home. lol. I've got an old Poulan logging chainsaw motor I've been looking to use. I think I know where it's going now. lol. :D

A Briggs-Stratton type 4 stroke motor with a centrifugal clutch would sit right in there...that's most likely about what it had to start with. Northern Tools sells some like that!....you've got wheels!...:)

Okay - the game just totally changed: kids are outta' luck. Start the gang. Leathers and spiked helmets (I mean "full on" Harley look) and go YouTube. 18 months and you're a reality show :D

Re: Like A Fat Kid In A Candy Store

When I was a kid, we were on the way to Kerr Lake to camp and fish for a week when the truck broke down on US1 in the middle of nowhere. No help and no cellphones back then so dad pulled out the minibike and rode to town for parts to fix the truck. I'll never forget watching him ride off......... and later return on that tiny minibike! He is not a small man either!

make sure you carry a spare spark plug for when the cops pull you over and take the one in the engine away from you... ask me how I know this... :D ;)

I dunno... the moped gangs I saw down in the Dominican Republic looked quite intimidating. That would be a tough act to follow... :D

Please tell me that "Hell's Midgets" isn't too politically incorrect ...
