Clark’s first motorcycle
This minibike was gifted to me by my friend Dean when I was in third or forth grade. This machine gave me many pleasurable hours of both riding and wrenching until I got a car and temporarily gave up two wheeled vehicles.
This spring while visiting Ted Dillard (http://evmc2.wordpress.com/) to drop off a part for his electric R5 I noticed this motor sitting in a corner of his garage and immediately thought that it would be a great candidate to freshen up the minibike. Ted told me that the motor was leftover from the electric conversion of his rototiller and several minutes later it was in my trunk.
I brought the frame to our shop where Will repaired the damaged fork legs and I stripped and painted it. Its now waiting for a long enough chain and a seat.
