this really isnt automotive..but its got a motor
I've had the need to work on something for sometime now.. been at school in michigan, so this will do for now i guess.. My dad and i built this thing when i was maybe 10. I make it a point to ride it a few good hours every year, just a blast to ride. I call it a mini-bike but i dont know what they actually are.. But yea its been sitting in my barn for the past 2-3 years or so, its getting kinda ratty so i decided to tear it completely down to the bare frame and start fresh. my buddy has a sand blaster so im gonna bring it over there and blast off all the old, peeling paint and throw some primer and then some new gloss red. the plan is to get it working and looking perfect again. the chain likes to pop off a lot so i gotta fix that too..well anyway heres some pics, should be a fun little project.
Notice the straight pipe i made for it^^

There was a kid with one of those mini sport bikes in my dorm back in college and we would take turns riding the damn thing around campus at like 2am. He also took it to class and such, and the school never gave him any crap about it.
