Mini bike

If in doubt, or it doesn't seem to fit elsewhere - put it here.

Who's got an old mini bike they want to part with cheap?

Here's one for you: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/mcy/5942844281.html
With a bit of work, you could put the AJS motor in it.

I built this mini chopper 45 years ago. My son will be 50 this year so I dug it out and will try to restore it in time for his birthday. Some parts are missing, like the forks, sprockets and exhaust. The motor is a Mac 91. The trophies in the background were from the motorcycle show in Kansas City in 71 or 72. Where has the time gone.

In high school I used to race my 175 Honda and a buddy on his McCullough powered mini bike across parking lots. He always beat me off the line.

With your background you might consider upping the game a bit:

The guy that originally built my Vincent racer, built this twin engine Mustang dragbike back in the 50s. His latest project is a twin engine Vincent sit-on land speed bike which he is shooting for 250mph +.
