Today's Swapmeet Treasures.........
OK, Today (Thursday) is the second day of the week I visit a local Swapmeet.
This is what I bought today:
1. Bug Humbug same model frame as stolen one - cost $60.
2. Folding gokart dollie - cost $45.
3. Some kind of Midget front axle - cost $10.
The pictures below are the same kart frame above after a few hours cleanup:
....Now I don't feel so bad about losing the first.

It may come back,MAC!
I just got my custom MB bike back. We found a guy just riding down the street on it. He said he had bought it for $40. I said to him he should have known. Each tire cost $50.
I told him to wait so I could call the cops. Man on man....that boy could run!
Got my bike back!
I am getting some of those WIFI cameras. For the yard.

Some people are just :censure: stupid.......for stealing in the first place. Then using it in the area it was stolen! Also if he BOUGHT it, he should of had a bill of sale so the cops might hassle him at first for receiving. But if he really was unaware, would at least look a lot better than running away.... Grats on getting it back.
Mac still hoping you can come to a positive resolution, and man that Cart cleaned up good!
Seems like a few people have been getting five-finger discounted recently....

L.A Roadsters Show 6/16/12 Swapmeet Treasures.
Not much there, I expected a lot more, but I did get this:
1. Nova Minibike, with 1967 Taco wheel up front - cost $150.
2. Clinton Panther 2 3/4hp two-0cycle engine - cost $50.
That's it............
Got a call from a friend while I was there
and went to see a minibike frame he had for sale:
1969 Cat 300-SS.......Never heard of this model.
Paid my friend $80.00 for it.
See the video:
Cat 300-SS Minibike Walk-around - YouTube
Saw the stuff below, but didn't purchase:
HotShot, Seller also had a Kohler and tank for it.
Unknown frame and price.
Buggered up, stretched Nova minibike frame.
Unknown brand minibike frame.
Tricked out Bonanza.
Azusa minibike was $130.
Said Dunecycle on sign, think it's an MTD.
Bug Humbug and Manco kart frames cost $150+ each.
~~ Next weekend Local Cycle Swapmeet Treasures~~

1. "MAC" leather jacket purchased for me by other OldMiniBikes member.
2. 6" Hands Midget wheel - Traded old Cox car for two of them.
3. NOS 11" Atwood kickstand(Good for tall Bonanza) - cost $7.00
Another slow day at the Swapmeet, but there was an Arco for $250.

imp:I must've purchased all the good stuff already.
There hasn't been anything worth buying in quite awhile now.
Just the average beatup, ugly $100 gokarts, but there's no
money to be made on steel wheeled karts.
I certainly haven't stopped looking, I have people flying in from
way out of town for my Minibike Yardsale on September 15th
and I'll need some fresh odds-n-ends for them to carry back home.
Next decent Swapmeet isn't until July 29th now, that's a terrible long
wait for a guy like me.................

Part of HP's original post I edited: I tried to buy this one but the guy wanted $100 and wouldnt come down at all :doah: I wasnt buyin at that price, the frame had been broken and welded with a stick welder and wasnt a good job :doah:

Randy, I suppose you know that's a pretty rare Arco built bike. If the tank stem was good $100 would be a good buy overall repaired frame and all to me but I like odd stuff. Those forks I've seen only one other time on that frame, the others had the Bushwhacker forks. I love that bike and may have been tempted to buy or make an offer. Just a cool and rarely seen Alexander Reynolds bike, had to point it out. You got a great looking homemade machine there, should be cool to build.:thumbsup:
