[Mean Dean]

Thanks Bandit and the rest of the guys. No Yamaha I bought these from Different sources and garage sales around me but no one named Kevin. I am going to sell the Nomad three wheelers and maybe The Thunderbolt , And maybe the MTD. I took some pics of The Outlaw chopper last night. I will get some more today and download them tonight. All are in really nice shape. I can tell you one thing I was never my Ex's favorite because of my Hoarding of these mini's. No offense ever taken.

Here is the 70 Wild Goose Survivor. Serial # is 16531. Yellow with a 3 1/2 H.P. Tecumseh. Eliminator tires. Original fenders, seat etc. The engine was built on the 269th day of 1969Usually around 3-6 months later and depending on the manufacturer is when they were used on Mini Bikes.

MTD TrailFlite

Here is the MTD. All original unrestored. It is a 3 1/2 H.P. Started and ran fine. It needs a new gas line and I have to get the front drive pulley. Carlisle tires. I have not cleaned it up yet but It will be an easy one. Seat is a little torn at the bottom. Muffler and pipe are exec. Tires are not dry rotted at all. Brakes are like new. This one was hardly riden.

 

[buckeye]

Wow, you have the knack for finding these things. Great to see them going to someone who won't chop em up and make drag bikes out of them.

Very nice Dean:thumbsup: I have a soft spot for complete/original bikes.

Lil Indian Outlaw Chopper all original

Here is the rare Little Indian Outlaw Chopper. This is a rare one. Ray Michrina at LIL INDIAN said it is one of only 25 built for 1970. They did not sell many at all back then. It is all original except the Brake Lever and Disc Brake spring.. It has the rare Lil Indian two speed transmission. It is a 3 H.P. Tecumseh. Flat black forks with the original Maltese Sticker in the middle. Original Seat and sissy bar. Sebac Shocks. Original tires. Carlisle Trail tire in the rear 5.30, 4.10 x6 rear. The front is a Goodyear 4.10 ,3.50x6. Runs like a top. Disc brake is like new. This was bought off the original owner. I have the original brake lever also. This is one of two Lil Indian choppers I have. I have the original Purple Prototype Outlaw also. You will not see another Outlaw Chopper built by these guys in this shape.I took the Chrome chain guard off for pics. I haven't seen one in 50 years. I am going to Display this Outlaw for a little while along with two other Lil Indian Survivors at the LIl Indian Show room/ Allied Leisure Co. 30643 Schoolcraft 248 477 0212,if some one wants to see it Enjoy.

Thanks Mark G . Me too, I have a real soft spot for original bikes. I just sold one of my rare survivors and I am regretting it. I guess this makes up for it.
