Here are a couple of my new toys. The first is a Hawthorne tank bike that I picked up from a friend of a friend for $20. I'd say I made out alright.. Had to replace a couple spokes in the front and gave it a good solid cleansing. It's very very original down to the tires and tubes.

Second is a Cat 300x Mini bike I picked up for $50 on the side of the road. Took it home, put in some gas and fired right up. A little bit of tinkering and I was going 25mph no problem. Only a 2 horse too! wicked fun. I got rid of the muffler and put on a straight pipe, hooked up a kill switch, and replaced the plug.

Sweet! I'd like to have found that Hawthorne, and a mini bike is always great :wink:
