Finished a fun project today...
I wanted a mini bike to keep in my Westfalia, as a few of my buddies have them. It’s a riot in the campgrounds, to rip around the trails.
It took me a while to locate a “roller”, as I already had a Predator 212cc motor, that my buddy tweaked, with a custom header, air filter kit, governor removed and new gearing.
I took some tartan, from an old kilt and had the seat recovered and added some decals
It actually pulls pretty good, even with 225lb me on it!
Should be some good summer fun!

Whisky has killed more men than bullets, but most men would rather be full of whisky than bullets.

Cool. You should wear the matching kilt when riding it.

It's been years since I've seen a minibike. It's all scooters these days. Awesome!!!

I had one of these. We would go so fast the chain would pop off it. Good times for sure.
I think the motor was from my dad's old lawnmower.

Congrat's on the new toy. That looks like fun.
Re: Finished a fun project today...
Dave, that's an awesome project!
I love it. Especially the seat...
I am sure you will have a lot of fun tearing down the trails...
