$15 Garage sale buy turned into obsession!

[Agombie]

I purchased this doodle at a garage sale for $15. The motor was trashed so I did some searching and replaced it with a Predator 212 non-Hemi (wish I knew there was a difference before i bought one). I cleaned the frame and painted it green. I also purchased a few items off of hotrodmini. My next purchase is new tires. I really only ride this on the streets and wonder what a good set of tires would be for it?


I have to say I am hooked now. I am thinking of purchasing a frame and building another one but really want to square this one up

Welcome to the madness ! :thumbsup: and yea the pic is not working .

Hopefully this works. What tires do you suggest? I kind of like the Turf savers from Carlisle but not sure what size fit.

Yea, welcome aboard and yea, it is a sickness that simply has not made it into the medical literature just yet. But that day is coming. =

I can still remember the day when I noticed that I have more minibike pictures posted up on my cubicle wall at the office than I do of my family . . . . does that make me a bad person . . . . ???

I'd go with some Carlisle Turf Savers. They're affordable, and they will last. I'd recommend 15x5x6, but 15x6x6 will work. Should be around $40 for the set.
