Hello All, Just introducing myself and posting some pics of the bike I call "The Garage Sale Special".
The story is a guy in the neighborhood had this thing in his garage, and just wanted to get rid of it. It had a fuel leak and ran pretty rough, if at all, he said.
I ended up getting it for $80 US
This has been a fantastic little project, and even more fun to run this thing around the community. I am hooked and cant wait to build my boys their own over the next few years.
Stuff I did to this extremely fun machine:
