Another new old guy.

[Tom C]

Hello all from KY. I built a mini bike from scratch with a 212 predator motor. I wasn't happy with it so I bought an old used go cart (Manco Silver Fox), and pulled the motor off the mini bike for it. I did a stage 1 set up on the motor, a couple new tires, and a hydraulic brake set up. I been tearing up the trails around the house for a couple of weeks now, it seems unstoppable. What a blast, my grand daughter is mad cause I passed her on her go cart. LOL. It will get torn down and prettified this winter.

Well, the seat does seem to occupy the most rearward portion of the frame...

Nice pics.
