    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, and...

    So Just How Fast is Your Minibike?

    If you have an android phone you can download Dynomaster by Trackaroo. Maybe even if you have an iThing too. This app uses the GPS in your phone to calculate speed, distance, and if all the particulars are known the horsepower of your engine. It creates a very official looking track slip...

    1969 50cc Maverick Minibike Project

    I found this this lump of coal on my local Craigs List. Pretty rough shape. Got it for short money but the engines bottom end is seized and I'm thinking I may need to adapt something else to fit in this small frame. Anyway I'll let the video do the talking. https://youtu.be/4cdote4hzXc...

    Help identify this minibike wheel?

    A friend gave me this wheel. Looks like an old craiger. It's a 6-inch split wheel with 5 bolts. Would just like to know what it is so I can blast it with walnut shells and polish it up and find another for a front wheel.

    Help ID this minibike.......thanks

    Looks like from the 80s? It has a wisconsin motor on it. Not sure if that is stock or not. I'm sure it did not have this gas tank on it. It is tie strapped down. Thanks for any help.
