Got a tip from a friend of my son's that's neighbor was moving and was selling a HUGE "lil Indian" collection so I call the guy and it turned out to be little Indian mini cycles and fold down scooters. While talking he did say he had a tote gote he restored that was almost finished being put together but has been sitting for years.
I go to his house (10 min away) and he had a bunch of really cool little Indian bikes and tons of NOS and parts he collected over the years, some of these things where TINNY! He was selling it all for $2500 and there was probably $10.000 + easy there in new seat covers, tanks, parts, decals, bikes, and engines. I told him to E-bay it all separately but he didn't have the time and wanted it all gone and hates to ship. If it where "my thing" I would have bought it all. The little bikes and fold ups where cool though. He also had a nice rare 1962 Harley that called a scat or something as well as other Harley builds he did.
Anyway, The Tote Gote was powder coated and has new seats, chain, tires, new front brake with extra shoes, a deer rack, screen, the original levers, a bin of parts and header wrap. (I DON'T know what the green bars are for and neither did he) The Honda GX140 engine was new and driven once around the yard using the lever for throttle. I thought the engine was an odd choice but I have a 5HP Briggs I/C that is red and black and will look real good in it. OH, he also gave me a mini bike manual that covers a lot of mini bikes, engine and repair. (even Hadoka)
I will have a lot of questions for you tote gote guys because these things are weird to me! (things like the funky rear brake (bans and belt piece?) and how does the kick stand say up. I know it will literally climb a tree but I hope it does more than 5 MPH! Very hard to roll it too with all the gismos! :doah:
Oh well thats enough for today.
