I want a fat tire mini bike now.....

Trust me I was shocked when he said $50.00. Nothing was with the frame. As I was loading the bike in the truck on top of a go cart, he walks out with two big boxes of parts. Seat, clutches, covers so fourth. Told me he was really sorry but he had used the motor many years ago on something else.

I helped him move some stuff around in his shop and he asked if he could pay me something. Wow...What a great guy.

Here is a pic of the $ 50.00 cart...Carter Co.

Ok, NOW you just pi##ing me off....$50!!?? For that kart?! You are one lucky sumbish...... I guess right place, at the right time....
Well, at least he didn't junk them..... You made out like a "fat cat" for sure.....

Around here, add another zero on each of those...

 

[landuse]

You definitely STOLE that thing!!

Getting really close to calling this one complete.

Needs air prefilter sock, kick stand spring and maybe a fuel pump. Runs really good with the stage one upgrade kit.
