this started out as a traditional mini bike, I didnt want to jump in this craze of mini chopper gayness, but when I needed a new motor I decided to go with something with some power. its a honda replica 6.5 hp and is a torque monster, I almost killed myself a couple times and already need new handle bars cause I tweaked the shit out of them trying to stay on it, it wont stall out and the clutch wont slip. but I rode it anyway.
So in other words "prime" , thats a death machine waitin to happen? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Dude, if you make it a chopper, it would be easier to control! No, really! Seriously! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

actually I like the mini choppers but they are too popular now so I cant go that route, besides I like living on the edge.

When I was a youngin' we used to ride my buddy's Taco-22 on the roof of the local elementary school... it's amazing we weren't killed!

I'm not gonna call anybody gay, but if you've ever been to the pomona swap meet out here you can hardly walk much less have room to ride around, just another reason for my stock size mini. I miht lengthen the frame a couple inches I'm 6-4 and could use a little more.

you need an 8 footer - it really handles, you just can't turn around
