So say I wanted to get a mini bike........
I'm sure none of them are made by Jesse James at around $300, but if I were looking at getting one of these things to ---- around with, which one would I get?
I saw the thread before about all these ------- things, but I just want to know if there is one that actually won't fall apart under me or jr. mode.

A friend of mine's buddy had one he bought for his kid, and was riding around on it.. I rode on it too, cool little thing.. It was a Kawasaki, I do believe. It held up real good, cost him $400 new I think.

Re:So say I wanted to get a mini bike........
If you're serious, my buddy has a garage full of them. I can get you a deal and possibly bring it up to you this weekend.
If you want my opinion, don't buy one. They are such piles of ----. The starters go out like every 5 pulls and the chains are like Fisher Price or something. ------- junk if you ask me. Even the guy that sells them will tell you this.
but yeah, if you want one I can hook you up.

Well, I heard the horror stories from the thread before and I've seen some cheap *** looking ones, but isn't there at least one of them that seems to have been built right?

I found this one. It's got 25 hp, but I think it's in the area of $5k. Funk dat.
I found some parts on ebay. Frames and such, but I think it would cost more if I built one. Yes, it would be a nice one, but I'm really not trying to go that far. I just want something to ride in the store and then cruise out for a good laugh.

Mode,
A buddy of mine here in AZ has a "Tote Gote" mini bike. It's up a cabin three hours north of Phoenix. It is totally old school, prolly made in the 1960s. We go up there every few months to get away from Phx, and drag this thing out of the shed when we get bored. We ride the kids around the yard and local area and have a blast. It aint cool lookin at all, but fun to ride. (Kinda like a fat chick). Found one for you for $250 at eGay....

A little history of the ugly little thing....
