    Minibikes may be OT but this project was really more about sharpening my welding, painting, flake, and design skills.

    I present El Goozanito....

    Started with this...

    whats cool about mine is it has a clutch, so its like riding a motorcycle with one gear...pretty quick for a little bike, rode it for awhile for fun and now its in the corner of the garage.

    Nice job! I particularly like the gold flake B&S motor detail.

    I have the urge to flake my lawnmower now...

    Looks like it would be hard to ride. The neck doesn't have any rake. Probably steers in the middle like a piece of heavy equipment. Cool paint though!

    Come on the little steering wheel is a must for the ole-school look! Every low-rider bike or custom is sportin' that combo!

    Killer bike, will it be in the mini bike races at the Lone Star next year?

    too cool love the paint job
     
  17. I love it and parents take note...this is exactly the kind of project you can start your 2nd-generation HAMBers with...they can learn a lot about the basics of engines, welding, body&paint, maintenance and pride of ownership...Not to mention the status of being the coolest kid on the block with baddest-*** minibike around!!

    That would probably explain why my kids avoid me.

    I never did quite understand the whole "cali low rider" thing, but I appreciate the workmanship.

    You guys are correct about the kids. I had a great timewith my little girl (4yrs) in the garage. she was very excited to sit in the corner of the garage with saftey googles + a full face shield, a helmet, ear plugs, and long gloves up to her arm pits.... best kind of dress up game ever. My son (1.5 yrs) got to play with wrenches and wack paint chips out of the frame each time.

    Her's the little lady...

    100% agreed! My 9yo & I tore his little 2hp B&S off his fun-kart completely down this weekend. Little grinding with the dremel, etc. and he outran his buddy running a 5hp Te***seh. Good times and he's officially a little gear-head now!
