Hello everyone on DIYGOKARTS, good to be here. Here myself to learn and ask questions. Been building small engines off and on for 38 years. Specializing In Honda, Predator, Ducar, Tillotson 6.5hp horizontal electric/pullstart 1 cylinder engines. Enjoy rehabbing/rebuilding minibikes, I have 2 1 db30 and a mm80 with a predator 212 hemi and the db30 has a 224cc stroker bith with torque converters, but different gear ratios.

Welcome!! Forgive Bob, he’s not right. Infact none of us are. Now get off my grass!
If the DIYGK Clubhouse was a physical place, this quote would be framed up on the wall.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.


“You must be," said the Cat, "Or you wouldn’t have come here.”

I must disagree...

"Have I gone mad?" Asked the Hatter

"I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are." Replied Alice

I only get angry while making hats.
Or was I supposed to make hats angry.
Or angrily make mean hats.

The mad hatter hats madder.
With mercury hid in his lather.
The queen thinks you’ve gotten fadder.
With some scissors she climbs a ladder.
To remove the lump above your bladder.
She yells “What’s the madder? Off with his adder!”
Head over heels, was only former not latter.

I've got a Husqvarna 208, and a Ducar 212, on [not so] minibikes.

Traditionally speaking, more like mini choppers, chop off the unnecessary, add spice as desired... just adding long forks does not make any bike a chopper.

We’re not crazy, nor depressed.
We are magical. I can control bodies and minds of others and I can prove it.

Try to NOT think about your inhales, exhales, or the pauses in between.

Hello and welcome! I personally love mini bikes, but I haven't been able to find one I really love (affordably anyway) since I let go of my baby (in my profile picture) a few months ago. I hope to be reunited with her soon... I sold her to my uncle a while back on a condition he would sell it back to me for what he had into it, and he has just let is sit and rot 🤬. Sadly that's out of control until I move out there to Kentucky to take it back.

That's how it is here in Michigan. I used to love garbage day around here, so many mini bikes that people would throw out and we would snatch them up all the time.
