Hey Mike have you got pics of your first kart or minibike?
And the second question is, can you post them here? (i know the game)
:popcorn:
I wish I could say yes but that was a long time ago. We are talking 1964-65. I'll give it a look in the old pictures and see if there are any. I can give you a description though. Mini bike was just run of the mill type with a West Bend 3hp. The go cart was if I remeber correctly was made by a guy that made race car chassis I was told. The frame was tubing bent in a u shape front to back then back to front. the motor fit down in back of the seat. another West Bend it had a disc brake also. My cousin used to mix his own model air plane fuel so we jetted an extra carb I had for castor oil, methanol and about 10 or 15 percent nitro. It ran pretty good and made the neighborhood smell good also. Mike

I didn't feel spoiled, both parents worked so I was pretty much on my own. Had a couple of paper routes worked in a Shell gas station to pay for my projects. When guys get old enough for cars and motorcycles I got bit pretty hard. thats all I thought about and did. It took alot of effort to finally get where I had enough knowledge and experience to make stuff work "sorta".
also guys don't worry about offending, injuring etc me cause I have tough skin I can take it. Mike

thank you guys for letting me in

I think, in aeons past, we may have had an Admin/Mod-approval-only forum but now it's automatic, providing of course that you know how many wheels a go kart has.

don't worry about offending, injuring etc me cause I have tough skin I can take it. Mike

Well that's good to hear; once in a while we get ones that are super sensitive and find offense in everything. We have a few jokers here but no one actually mean. Those folks get zapped. 🤯🔨
