Mac is doing it again.
I'll probably go, If I do I'll take some parts and frames to sell (2-3 Tacos, a Lil' Indian, and maybe a Bandit).
Here's a link for info:

They don't come any nicer than Mac. Always honest and very fair (some would say to a fault), on stuff he sells.
6:00 a.m. is too early for me :sleeping:. I probably won't get there until around 8:00 a.m.
Yes they had only four digits. Here's my BC1000's Serial# 5173. The early ones came with Briggs, so I've been wondering what year mine is and if it came with a Briggs or Tecumseh.
I don't know why he doesn't advertise here, but Mac is having another Minibike Yard Sale on Saturday Sept. 23rd.

I plan on taking at least two Taco Frames and maybe my Little Indian...
Maybe a few wheels, possibly shocks, rear drum/gear. I'll probably only sell the shocks if the frames go. Need to look thru my stuff and decide which parts i can live without.
A reminder. Mac's is this Saturday, the 28th. Missed last year (damn flu), so really hope to make it this time. I plan to bring a couple of my extra Taco frames ('67 44 and '68 99), plus some parts. The flyer on Craig's list says 6 am to 3 pm.
If your interested in some Taco stuff, be a...
That frame is quite different from the one in the ad. Axel location, foot peg mount, and front seat mount. The fit of the seat and the different color forks would make me wonder if it's not a Comette frame?
Those rubber isolators are way too long. Something much shorter might help, 1/4" would be better. The old horn insulator bolt off of an old Harley FL Shovelhead might work. It's probably about 1/2" thick with a 5/16 threaded stud on each side.
In about 1969 my brother bought an old one with silver painted steel wheels from a family friend. It was that color. Sort of a metallic magenta/lavender. It looked cool with it's yellow West Bend fan housing and chrome fuel tank. He blew the motor, cut/lowered the engine plate to put a 2 1/2 hp...
5 months later, so maybe some fresh eyes will see this.
Sure would like to find the real thing, but in the mean time I'll see if I can scale some dimensions off the photo.
Re-posting this frame. Only available with Woods Motor Sports (the bare metal), fork and swing arms. $260 Pick up in SoCal.
I have a set of the later style wheels that I will sell for an additional $100 (only for sale with this frame). FYI, Late in production '68 bikes came with the later style...
