my hobbie/addiction

well i went to a minibike show today and well after riding my minibike all day i had a new ambition to go home and work on my Rupp frame.

well i don't have any pics of the Ropp tonight but i can have some tomorrow upon request. so before i show you all the pics i have i would like to know i there are any minibike/go-cart enthusiast on this forum.

The heath kit that is currently being painted.

the bike i call "the Hog" but in reality its a Thompson Roadrunner (found that out today at the show.) the exhaust and the air cleaner has been painted.

this is Barney. started life as a two seater and about ten inches shorter. (and not purple :lol: )

this is my Manco Dingo two seater. i traded my trailer for it (pic below)

and below is one of my many winter projects. i'm going to put a 5hp on it. (I think)

Those are cool. I had a Heath Kit 5hp when I was 12. Traded it for a BB Gun. (Read Signature) I also recently briefly had a 1970 Honda Z50 Mini-Trail that I mailed in 3 boxes from ME to CA. Guy saw my ad in Maine and asked about it. I told him if he wanted to pay to ship it I'd give it to him. $150 later he had all of it.

i havnt drove the heath yet because it needs a clutch. we only put it together so we know everything lines up. i hope the 10hp gets it moving. $150 thats a great deal for him. does that include shipping?

Rob the $150 was the shipping. The bike was free It was to coin a phrase.... a "project" bike. :shock:
