Got it Back Today

[halfmile]

I had this 1960 Sensation Mini Bike for a long time and sold it. I got it back today after the friend I sold it too completely ruined it. He installed a headlight and tail light I won`t even unload it from my truck untill those items are removed. I mean what if one of my friends saw that, there goes my reputation for sure. After I clean the carb and gas tank I plan on buying a dew rag and getting a "Devil Dog Born to Raise Hell" tatoo. Gotta look the part.

This gonna be a resto or resto mod?

What is it going to be? It`s going to be in my way just like it was before I sold it.

There! Tail and headlight removed instantly transforming this from a near full dersser to a ultra racy 2 1/2HP ground pounding tracker. 1,000 % improvement. That muffler is going to have to take a hike but it can wait until I unload this monster.

Another try at a land speed record?

Dual exhaust!
You know you want to.

You need to zip-tie a milk crate to the front. Boom. Shop parts-chaser bike.

Maybe. Looks like all I have to do is find a way to reverse the sprockets. If that doesn`t work there`s always the Turbonique watermellon jet.

I had to look up centrifugal clutch and scrub brake to figure out how that thing works. Cool!

I'd have given my tiny left nut for that thing in 1972.

We got something similar here, Don't think it's original though

Wonder who did these speed holes???

I think that is a factory G.E.M. chain guard. You wouldn`t catch me drilling holes in anything.

Sometime in the early 60's two neighbor boys had these, one red, one blue. Absolutely the coolest thing short of an actual Harley!
