      rage redface I agree always happens to me but recently i found a go kart frame for $20 its missing a drive wheel and thats the most expensive part asides from the engine which I got free. then I had this chainsaw it was brand new never used and I traded it for a mini bike frame (not like one in vid), with engine, another engine a honda gx200 and a couple of extra parts. All you have to do is put an ad on CL and say you can trade something because you have any money. Thats what I did. Seems to work. also if any one has a cheap go kart/mini bike drive wheel hmu lol

    Great job! I had an original Wren Mini Bike with a 2 and a 1/2 HP Tecumseh motor in 1969 when I was 10 years old! I always like mini bikes from the 1960's! They are a lot of fun! These days they are hard to find! Have fun on yours and once again, a nice project well built!

    • @SuperSerenity44
      @SuperSerenity44 8 років тому +1

      +Hemi Vic Hey Hemi, I just purchased a new kit from 909bikes for $299 and Harbour freight has Two different versions of the 212cc Predator and one is a HEMI head LOL I'm 52 and plan on getting several friends to purchase these to just race in a lot and drink beer and grill out.

    • @HemiVic
      @HemiVic 8 років тому +1

      I remember as a kid in Chicago in the late 60's that a lot of kids had mini bikes and rode them illegally on the street! Some states actually allow them to be driven on the street but their are restrictions. Yours is a very nice one! I'd say just by looking at it, it's most likely from 1969-72. I may get one for my nephew as I'm guiding him to be a Motorcycle rider when he gets to be a teen. But right now, a mini bike would be perfect for him! There are some nice mini bikes for sale on eBay. Northern Tool in Minnesota has one too. I'll keep you posted!

    Yup. Not today junior. Those frames are around $200-300 in 2020! I love these, I have 2 of them. I wish they'd make the frames again. These are the quintessential mini bike to have.

    You lucked out on a $30 chassis chief. Running or not those bad boys are around $200 nowadays. I used an engine plate, tensioner, chain, clutch, pads, 212....$500 all day in 2020 unfortunately. Still worth it!!

      Depends on where you live. Most places it's under 50cc is ok. But where I live in PA everything needs to be registered and insured that runs off anything other than your own power.
      Also where I live, (check your local laws.) if your caught riding on the road with one, it's a huge amount of traffic violations from driving an unlicensed vehicle to driving without insurance or registration.

      +paul gregory Motor: a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal
      combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other
      device with moving parts.
      Engine: a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion.
      Motor and engine is the same thing.
