spit and polish

I make enough money pushing buttons. You can do the minibike selling thanks.  ^_^

And I'd suggest you either sell it fast or buy a helmet.

I've ridden enough motorcycles and skateboards to know to never get on one without a helmet.

Seriously, Plymouthy. People may think I'm a helmet nazi, but after 7 motorcycles, and dozens of skateboards I know better, and so do you.

Hey Plymouthy, I apologize for trying to bait you. This all sounded very mean-spirited when I re-read it this morning.

I've actually always loved minibikes myself. I like the color too. I've owned two cars that were about that color.

But being a hotrodder at heart, I think it deserves a larger engine.

well for the size rider it is intended....a larger engine would get you in trouble quick..and the fact that the faux engine is to represent a Harley twin is the very design behind the bike...for the record I will state the very model is the APC Mini-chopper.....these were a bit popular years ago and sold by Pep Boys as one retailer.  The fact that any of the minis at a swap meet is a hit just because it does have an engine on it.  I pretty much knew you were riding my case a bit...but I will respond with the fact you spot on with the wearing of a helmet...I put aside my larger street bikes a few years back..figured I pushed my luck more than I should have...with the ever more crowding on the highways today....a bike is often overlooked....to any driver...look for the bike, you will see the car...I am only hoping the turn signal assemblies arrive before the swap meet date, if not it will likely be held over till spring meets.....you can oft times get as  money for the mini than a fairly solid late 40's car....(given the area I am in if I were to sell a car for 500.00 they would want owner financing to go with that...)

I have one more mini to build here on hand...but that will be another day....

The paint is one of the two tone blues found on the 1990 Dakota.   Making use of some left over paint....
