    My Manco Trailcat needs a little TLC

    Somebody gave me this Manco minibike today. He wanted to restore it one day but had to be honest with himself - it wasn't gonna happen. So now I am going to restore it one day! Apparently, this thing was put against a tree years ago and forgotten. The tree trunk literally grew around it with the...

    What did I just buy?

    I have been in the market for awhile now, looking for an adult sized go kart. I had an friend/acquaintance sell me this one. But he bought it used and doesn't know the brand. There are no markings on it. It runs very well. Just hoping to identify a model or brand for parts. Any guesses? It has a...

    2 Predator Hemi Engines

    So tonight, I went to Harbor Freight to look around. Normally, when I need an engine, I pick up a 212. But the Hemi version is never in stock. However, tonight, I wasn't even looking to buy an engine and there were two (2) Hemi's on the shelf. Hot Dog! The store was about to close and I live...

    Mega Moto 212 Finished!

    Spent the day in the shop getting the "Mega Moto 212" finished. Unfortunately, I don't think this bike will ever be available again. I bought it from gopowersports. At the time, they had limited stock. Now they are out of stock. Coleman now makes a bike with the Mega Moto frame, but not all of...

    Older Asuza - two engines to choose from!

    My recent purchase of an older Asuza mini bike came with a 6HP Tecumseh. That is too much power for my son (for now). I decided to purchase a Predator 79cc from Harbor Freight - approximately 3HP. As I was poking around in the shed, I came across an engine that was given to me that I forgot...

    Tecumseh that will probably do nothing but collect dust

    Back when Sears decided to stop selling engines, a friend of mine bought a close out Tecumseh engine for $10. After sitting in his garage for years, he decided to give it to me. Now it sits in my office looking pretty. It has never been used or even had oil put into it (unless the factory put a...

    Going against the grain on this - but I need a smaller engine!

    As I hang around the minibike crowd, so many people just want to add a 212 to everything - and I understand that. I have two other bikes that will have 212's on them when I'm done with them. However, my recent purchase of an Asuza minibike has a 6HP Tecumseh engine. I also have a new Coleman...

    Price drop forced my hand!

    A mini bike that was listed on facebook marketplace dropped in price. Originally posted at $300, it was listed for several weeks. The price dropped to $200 and I bought it. I decided that an Asuza style bike was a needed addition to my growing fleet. The last picture shows an interesting chain...

    Is the Monster/Mega Moto 212 a thing of the past?

    I have been scouring the interweb for mini bike stuff for the last several weeks. The toughest looking mini bike in my opinion is the Monster/Mega Moto 212. However, it seems that the only place you can get a Mega Moto 212 is from GoPowerSports. And even then, it seems that stock is limited. As...

    Mini Bike Hysteria Continues! My latest acquisition!

    Another one followed me home. Not really, I drove two hours out of my way to get it! This 2011 Baja Warrior is bone stock and happens to be my favorite color. It's needs to have some of the bolts tightened up (some rattling when riding) and the light switch is sketchy. Otherwise, it's fires...

    Mini Bike Newby!

    Hey all! Mini Bike newby here. Although I have been a small engine gearhead for several years, I am finally getting involved in Mini Bikes! Back in 2012, I bought a beat up Mini Baja for $40. Finally taking the time to do something with it. I will be posting pictures. I also obtained a 1987...
