    anyone recognize this decal on the Bird???

    Found this (alum?) decal on the Bird frame while scrubbing the crud off in preparation for sandblasting. From what little i can see, i'm thinking that it might be some disclaimer. It's on the front of the motor mount plate. Good to know the original color too. Thanks for any help!!

    Big Bird fat fender front?

    I believe the fender is a Bird front fender and measures 5 & 3/4 wide by 14 heavy sheet metal. Pics upon request. $30 and shipping looks like $13.50 My OldMiniBikes pics don't seem to be working now.

    Todays score

    Every so often I post a "Wanted" ad. on Criegslist. Sometimes it pays off but most times not. Here is what I picked up today. A green Cat with a FUBAR'ed front end. The red one is pretty decent, (Bird?). A Tecumseh edger motor and a GX160 Honda. All for 80 bucks. Jim
