Hi guys, I guess this is off topic but, I'm looking for an old style mini bike for my youngest son [12 years old] not running is fine it would be good for him to fix it. I'm in Long Island NY. Thanks.

Find one of those old Honda 50cc dirt bikes with the folding handlebars. I traded a divorce case for one about 35 years ago and had a huge amount of fun on it. Would do maybe 20 mph but would downshift and climb a 60 degree dirt pile. Two happiest days of my life were 30 something years ago when I did my last divorce case and about 12 years ago when I sold my lawnmower.......

Vicroy, Thanks I will also look into the honda 50cc's. I can only imagine the scene being a divorce attorney, however I quit smoking 18 years ago. To keep from going back I traded my lawn mower for a gardener. Possibly the best decision I ever made.

Here is a fixer upper on E-Bay and it may be close enough to warrant watching.

Hi Clay, Thanks. I have a hard time finding anything on ebay. Could you give me any step by step directions. When I see my kids I will see if they can help. Thanks in advance Gary.

Capt Patrick, Thanks. it was so easy it was embarassing. I even posted a wanted add.

Clay, thanks for the look out. I think with my bertram all over the driveway this bike might require a little to much work and possibly hard to find parts. I hope im not sorry later. Please let me know if you see any others. Thanks.

Thanks for the imput, I saw a few kids running a mini bike, I bought it. I paid to much but the money went to kids [hope they enjoy it]. We just orderd many internet parts to repair it, looking forward to the project with my son. Thanks again gary
