1966

My dad wouldn't let me buy a motorcycle or have a car, so I did the next best thing. Built my own. Took an old wrecked 80 CC Suzuki trail bike, set the engine on a block and built the rest. A guy named Jim Barker helped with the welding, and I machined the hubs. Got an ID tag from the state...

Hello, first post here. I'm restoring a 1966 Taco Burrito. I need help with what I need to hook up the throttle cable to the carb linkage. The cable housing is clamped to the carb, but how do I hook up the actual cable? Thanks!

Bought this one not long ago....has a Tecumseh H60 which is the original motor. Wondering how well a Westbend 820 would push this bike? Gonna take some work to make it shine again. Has a title which is cool for riding legally on the roads. Anyone have a Sportsman Compact or Senior seat...
