When I was a young boy in the mid 80's, my Dad pulled out his Muskin HPE Cat 300 XL from my grandfathers garage. He took it to work and got it running for me. I can't tell you how many hours I spent on that old cat. Some of my best memories of my childhood were on that bike. Sometime after I became a teenager and I had graduated to a full size dirt bike and the Cat disappeared. I'm sure my dad probably sold it or traded it, but I don't know. Unfortunately I can't ask him whatever happened to it as he passed away about 17 years ago. The only thing I have left of the mini bike are the memories, a fender and the chain guard which I saved after all these years. Fast forword to today, I'm now 35 with two young boys of my own. The chain guard and the fender are hanging in my garage displayed proudly but everytime I look at them I'm reminded of my youth. Now I'm on the hunt for another Cat (or the same one, Pueblo, Colorado isn't that big of a town). My boys are getting to an age where I can start teaching them how to ride and I can't wait. We have a newer mini chopper but it needs some work and its just not the same as a vintage mini bike. Anyway I've been searching the local newspapers, garage sales, and the internet and I stumbled upon this website and thought this looks like a great resource and possibly a place I can find one for sale.
