After years of searching I came across this forum today and am very excited. About 10 years ago I inherited a 1960 Go Kart Mfg. Greenhorn Enduro Model 100 with a Clinton 2 1/2 hp Panther motor. It was my cousin's and with the exception of the seat that he modified to support his big butt...

Hello forum. I am not getting much info from anywhere, about a 1960 "dinky cyle" scooter/minibike that I have had in my basement for 45 yrs. It is one of those collapsable scooters that were advertized as a "pilots best friend". Just thought the forum would like to know of its...
