Thread: cool video

Looks to be a blast! Lots of 50's and I seen a handful of 70's too. Lot's of rare makes and models. It's would be fun to go and participate or even just be able to look at all those rare, well mantained mini-bikes in person. It's a shame it's so far away (Pennsylvania).

5 hours one way from my house,darn it.

Me too! (...ona jet...)

That would be so much fun!...Why is all the good stuff so far away?? I wonder if the parade is all that they do or if they have other mini centered activities?

There are a lot of people there...I thought at first it was the video of the group from Germany/Belgium. To see it was from the US was nice...Lot's of awesome old Rupps and ScatCats there too.

Thanks for sharing that Z

That's do'able . 225 miles from me . Hmmm .

Hmmmm.......Maybe next year !

I bet the old z-50's and CT 70's made the 7 mile trip no problem, but i would like to know how many of the old minibikes with the B&S engines and centrifugal clutches broke down the first 100'.
Remember those days.........

I had the Tecumseh 3.5hp -- Changed the rear sprocket & If you held the govenor it would do 35mph . 7 miles , they better have some fire-proof drawers .

Wasn't so much the B&S or Tecumseh motors but them damn #35 chains and clutches that always failed.
Well,i take that back.My 4 HP B&S was notorious for starter ropes.I was a pro at having to rewind the spring,what a PITA.
