On the Taco minibike website it looks like the Taco company was originally in southern California and moved to Texas for a while and now back to southern California. Looks like they now have a Taco 100B kit.
I bought this Taco 22 today from a guy who was moving and didn't want it. Well you know I want it. He said it was one of the Tacos that were made in Texas. I heard of these before. This was Before Joe Rivello bought the company. Any Taco guys out there know anything about these Texas Tacos? How many were made?

I remember seeing the Texas Tacos on the web around the early 2000's. At first they only made 22's. Later they started making a weird stand up scooter version with stickers all over it. At first the color was a lighter non metallic purple. I may have a few photos on my old computer. I don't know if they had any kind of serial numbers. At one time the company (name/rights, tooling, and inventory), was for sale on ebay for $50,000.
Thanks for the info buddy. I got 5 original Tacos and I can tell you this Texas 22 is really well made with better welds and a beautiful candy purple paint job. your right about the time period. The seller gave me the Tec owners manual that came with the bike dated 2003. It has no serial #s. The best part is I got it for $ 250!!!! And it wasn't even Taco Tuesday!
When I finish my build off bike and start working on the MDB I wanted to get a taco 22 with a flathead for a tow bike. Since the T bob is based of the taco 22. I think it would be rad to have a clean taco 22 towing around The monster version of it. The two extremes the cool an calm and the pissed off.
