I remember riding one like that at my cousin's in St. Mary's when I was a kid. That was a lot of fun.

No mini bike, but I did have a go-cart.

I ran into a tree headon when I was in my early teens driving a neighbors Chibi minibike at about 40 mph. I was knocked unconscious for a few minutes. The throttle stuck wide open and I didn't know how to drop the bike. I missed hitting a broken pine branch by inches or I would have been seriously ****ed up or maybe even dead.
It scared me forever and I won't get on motorcycles. Then later in life in my early 20's I went out ATV riding in heavy snow with two friends from work. As I tried climbing a step hill following both of my buddies who were ahead of me, I flipped the ATV backwards on top of me as I didn't lean forward enough to balance the weight. After 2 attempts to ride a motorcycle and ATV and 2 complete failures, I figured it was best for me to quit. ![]()

Mini bikes are great memories for me. When I was a kid we had Skat Cats and homemade units.
When my kids were 10-12 we found a Yamaha Chappy on the curb, like as in someone’s trash. We put a spark plug and new gas in it and it fired right up. My kids absolutely destroyed that thing having fun and it currently resides in a pretty crappy outbuilding that takes on water. I should probably address that….oh well, anyway ![]() |

Got a friend who has bought a couple of these. They bring crazy money. Bring a Trailer is a great site to waste time on. It gives me heartburn when I read what some of the cars I have had are selling for today. |

Just when I think you couldn’t possibly get any dumber you go and do something like this, and totally redeem yourself

You're probably the guy that looks at things for sale that he thinks may be overpriced, and just can't close the post in move on, but comments how it is overpriced...
