For $25, that's worth the $100 in gas a round trip costs me.
Unless I can fit it all in the Civic - then it's a $30 round trip...

Take the rear wheels off and it will fit! How is JB SR.

I can get a 70 in the back without taking it apart. I had a 250SX in it with the forks off. The Zinger would fit for sure. The bikes - not so much. But they're mostly scrap anyway... except maybe the engine.

All doing great! Not sure if he's coming to Rampage - it was really cold last year.

I'm up here near Tulsa, I could make a little trip down and snag that right quick! I think I even have a couple motors laying around here somewhere for those little bikes. Sweet.

I missed it....had it on watch and I never got an alarm that it was ending, and I forgot until just now.

Crap. Someone got one heck of a deal. 51 bucks. Yeesh.

I lucked out then - it was me.

The Zinger will be fun to play with but I'll eventually flip it.
I figure, if the pitbike engine runs, it's going in one of the 70s since it looks like a bottom mounted e-start with a clutch.

Plus there's a guy in Dallas that was interested in my Tecate so if he buys the Tecate I have 2 reasons fro the trip - could be a win-win-win (Zinger-engine-Tecate)

This turned out to be a great deal - thanks for the tip.

The Zinger is very complete - even has the tools under the seat and the lanyard. And the seat is great. Has a bunch of paint overspray on it. I bet it runs with fresh gas, clean carb, and new plug. I'll find out tomorrow.

The pitbike engine is a 125cc, manual clutch, with the e-start under the engine. Perfect for one of the 70s in my backyard.

Pics tomorrow.

Plus, I finally sold my Tecate that's been for sale for 6 months and delivered it to the same town as the pickup.

I'm going to close this out with a few notes and start a "This is my Tri-Zinger" thread:

The pitbike motor has no carb but ran with a little carb cleaner.

I sold the pitbike frame as a roller without the engine or electrics locally for $50. I was amazed. I posted it on CL last night and had 4 people lined up for it and dropped it off at lunch.

The Zinger also ran on a spray of carb cleaner. I worked on cleaning the carb but the pilot jet is clogged solid. I'll try a $17 Ebay carb and see how it goes.

One funny note - look closely at the picture - the air filter is a dress sock. Better than no filter, I guess...

Thanks again for the tip!
