    After we rebuilt the carb and got a nice strong idle, there was no way to shut it off! (Centrifugal clutch.) Except shorting the plug/wire with a screwdriver, not all that practical.

    It's not MINE mine, it's my 16-year old kid's. (I kept lobbying for a repaint.)

    And it is too fast, most minis of that flavor have 3~3.5HP motors, a 5HP is kind of a bit much. Ton's o' fun though.

    Oh, and Cows-n-Pigs-n-Chickens is about 60 miles north by northeast of the Motor City.

    I love it...Fitz decides that the herd has to be thinned,so what does he do? He sells his KIDS bike<LOL>!!!! I opened the C/L ad half expecting to see a nice shiny Norton for sale....and instead had the following words engrained into my memory...."could always use some cosmetic improvement"


    I'm just teasing you fitz....glad you didn't have to sell the norton, that would have broken your heart cause I know you love that bike.
