    The other chinee mini

    Anybody else have one of the Other Chinese bikes? These come with 4hp honda-clones a really beefy frame, and 8" wheels. Homier distributing sells them, and if you're looking for a new bike with good power, take a look at these.

    Double dippers?

    Just curious... how many folks have both: Old US made minis and newer Chinese copies? I have both and like both, and find there is really very little difference between them... other than origin. :scooter:

    CRS questions...

    I'm at work and Can't Remember Stuff, so... What is the thread size on the four bolt holes around the shaft on a Tec 3.5... where you would mount a TAV2? Going to stop by the local hardware store on the way home and need to pick some up. Thanks

    Need a new mower, so...

    I'm 99.5% sure I'm going to drop the hammer on one of these tomorrow... Gravely XDZ 160iM: The local dealer (2 miles away) has 12 months-same as cash... and I always like interest-free purchases. :wink: It's a bit pricey, but my "yard" is over 4 acres and this will save me a lot of...

    I don't get it...

    How so many grown peoples can be so faint about steel tubing that's younger than they. Doodlebugs, Baja's, or the odd Murray-clone... vs the rusty frames of yore? Really, is that all we have to worry about? :out: Seems it would be better to welcome ANY mini-bike enthusiast rather than...

    Grumble, grumble....

    I started on the G'kid's bike today (it's been a :censure: busy year), going to put a 3.5 Tec on my little green Sears frame, along with some non-permanent training wheels. I got the wheels off, the bearings out, and the old tires off, then started to clean up the rusty wheels and found...

    A mini just for jimh

    I saw your thread about your new Ford N... here's one a guy built for his son... He hand-carved a mold for a vac-formed hood... and used an electric wheel-chair as a donor.

    OzzFest 2008

    Whew! We had a great time, the bands were good-great, the crowd well-behaved (no fights), and the SWTs plentiful! :biggrin: Hell Yeah played an awesome set, and Ozzy was very good for a 59 year old Heavy-Metal rocker! He did all the songs I like including a couple Black Sabbath tunes...

    Twins!

    I found these on-line last night (eBay) for $96, and only $21 for shipping (with no tax :thefinger: ) With the closest Harbor Freight being 60 miles away, this is just as good a deal for me! The best part? They're coming from the same folks where I bought the Murray clones... kinda funny...

    Well, we ain't high class, but...

    Here are a few pics of my youngest son’s wedding, held today on my back patio. If the bride rides in her wedding dress, is that gauche? Here are my three sons (+one grandson) riding the mini’s afterwards!

    Grandma!!!!

    We were out riding today, the middle son and I, when all of a sudden, my Murray-clone bike decided I was holding it back, whereupon it leaped up and ran away... pulling me along for just a bit, until I decided to give it reign, and let go. :scooter: Of course, my feet weren't completely...

    Crap II

    My sons and I were out riding today, when my gold Sears bike stopped cold! When I first looked at it, it seemed the jack shaft clutch had a pieced of old bailing wire caught between it and the chain... after looking closer, it is one of the springs!!! I guess broke and the end got caught...
