You think about it, there were a lot of different mini bike makes\manufactures in the 60s and 70s. A lot of cool bikes.

yea there were, this is from the Lil' Indian history article:

Years later it was proven by the federal government, that the Japanese were dumping mini-bikes below cost on the U.S. market. At its peak in 1970 there were 100-150 mini-bike manufacturers in the U.S., by 1974 there were less than 10 left.

Mini Marcellino Super America sold out of FL. Slywilliz has some of these bikes :thumbsup:

The Di Blasi folding mini bike out of Italy (a similar design from the later 70's and still being made/sold today) was also imported to and sold out of the same general area of FL up until about 5-6 years ago:



My 2000 Di Blasi (now stuffed in the cargo hold of some Doctors airplane :laugh: )

Just had a WTF moment. I have to admit the eggshell and sienna singlet with the sailor hat really pop with the side buckle mini-pumps.

Is the seat optional? :laugh: Probably a safer bet to utilize the Viking outfit to avoid an ass whipping at every stop light.
