The Minibike

I stopped at a yard sale this morning after dropping Abby off at school and bought this...




The rear brake lever is broken, there's a micro-sized crack in the front rim, and the plastic bodywork is broken. But it runs! It has a single two-cycle engine and must be something in the order of only 25 to 50cc. It sounds like a loud leaf blower at full throttle and it's able to haul my butt up and down the street at a max of 10 MPH. I was laughing my a$$ off all the way. All for only $30 !!

No, Abby won't be riding it since she doesn't even know how to ride a bike yet.

Did I hear you say the rim was cracked AFTER you rode it? ;-O

I noticed it before and watched the status of the front wheel REALLY closely as I rode. I didn't get up to much speed but still didn't want to risk getting a boo-boo. :-)
