Pit Bikes, Mini Bikes, Choppers...

lets see what you've got. i searched and found a few topics sort of mentioning them but none actually devoted to them.

i just got my son this one, gonna trim it down a bit and make it look more like a bobber. wonder if i can find a springer front end?

my son turns 9 today and hes gonna be blown away!!! its a 70cc 4 stroke machine-o-doom!!! dont worry though, he has a leather jacket, helmet and gloves!



i need a better pic but its a red metal flake paint with gloss black

 

My buddy has the same thing.

Pull the slide out of the carb and take the slide block out. With it in it only opens about 1/4 of the way. Take it out and you have one go fast machine!

 

That's a neat lookin bike.

Hate to be the one to say so, but the fine family of jalopy journal also has a bike oriented area, known affectionately as http://www.jockeyjournal.com/

Might be why you didn't find a lot in here with the cars and stuff.

Oh, their forum is here...

I have seen minibikes made out of old Schwinn frames with springers from the pea picker type forks they are re-popping. Looks a little to light weight for waht you got there though

 

i have one but its not really little. its about 10 ft long and goes 70 (actual) mph with a 9 hp lawnmower engine

 

hey bryan ill be over today to ride it to make shure its safe for the kid, you know your geting a little old and i dont want yea to break a hip

 

lets not forget the near backflip from you at jims house on that 50!! hahaha

 

Here's my pit bike, origonally built for the Eagle Field mini bike drags, it now makes a very handy get around vehical at the drags and the dry lakes. It's a MCTIM original frame with a 9ci 1954 Model 9 Briggs for power. (3.25 HP)

 

it almost matches your truck, too cool!!

i kinda wanted a go kart cause i have a nice 5hp motor just sitting but this bike fell in my lap since it was my neighbors and his boys beat it and left it sitting in the garage

 

Here's my dirt track racer and pit bike from 1959.
Yamaha 125. Dynoed 26 hp with 30%.
It ran alcohol and up to 30% nitro depending on the need.
It was a real handfull.

 

There's already 39 pages of minibikes in this thread: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119200

 

thanks.

we cleaned up the bike today

 

Anyone familiar with the Yamahopper? I just got one, will post a pic when it gets here!

 

Been messing with my Nephew's old Triumph for the last month or so.....changed tank, seat, and now re shaping the rear fender...
Fun to work on something for a change that I can reach, and don't have to crawl under !!

 

Check out this Bad Boy. Always something bizaar at Bonneville

 

I guess I'll post mine up again, before this gets the slammer.

 

I'm a fan of the minibike, but the last thread was great and it got closed. So the only way to keep one open is to post stuff that is absolutely On Topic.

I can atleast say I tried...

 

I hope this is on topic. I am a nostalgia altered racer and am building this motorized bicycle to cruise the pits. Kind of an updated Whizzer, old school style.
Some feastures:
Felt cruiser frame
Felt tripple-clamp front fork
hand made gas tank
whitewalls and fat rear tire/wheel combo
front drum brake
custom exhaust
Stealth Black paint with pin stripes or flames TBD

 

Here's one I built

 

Heres mine built for drag racin. But now its gonna be my El Mirage cruiser

 

Update: I got it running. What fun! I still need to add the rear disc brake (check out the slick combination rear sprocket and disc brake rotor). Then comes Harley Orange and flatr black paint w/ striping. Enjoy

 

Take the baffle out of the muffler and give it another go.

 

With a wife and four drag cars in my life I don't need any more noise. The baffle stays.

 

I restored this '67 Taco 22 to use as our pit bike on the salt.

 

this should clear things up...

 

I have a 70's Indian Moped pit bike. I wasn't using it anymore 'cause I went to a golf cart so it's currently apart for a minor restoration.

I have "real" bikes too but they're O/T.

 

This is mine.

You must be kidding. You actualy want people to know that not only did you buy one dumb *** looking bike but then you bought another?

 

Drifters is a joke......right?

 

the "bagger" aint bad , but that chopper ...no thank you
