As a child I spent most my time unscrewing my toys, taking apart things, and trying to figure out how things worked. I was always fascinated with the way things were built, and the way things were put together. I was always building things and fixing things around the house. I was known as the "Handy man" in the family and my school as well. As the years went on I began getting into bigger and better things. Those bigger and better things were mini motorcycles.

They can be very fun in a number of different ways. First of all... A mini motorcycle isn't just a miniature motorcycle. It is, but at the same time mini motorcycles can be classified as mini dirt bikes, mini choppers, pocket bikes, and much much more. So when it comes to these so-called "mini motorcycles" there's not only tons of things to do with them, but there's a variety of different mini motorcycles to choose from as well.

The first thing people think of when they here mini dirt bike or mini chopper is oh those must be so much fun to ride around on! Well, their absolutely right, mini dirt bikes and mini choppers are extremely fun to ride. Along with the fun comes affordability. With everyone struggling now of days financially, mini motorcycles such as the mini dirt bike or the mini chopper, are cheap, affordable, safe, and very very fun.

Now when I think of any sort of mini motorcycle, such as mini dirt bikes or mini choppers, I think...How can I build one of these things, and customize it myself? It's not that hard! When I started out building mini motorcycles my first project was an old rusty mini bike frame I bought at a yard sale. Nice sand job and some primer and paint and wala, It looked good as new. found some wheels at the junk yard, bought a cheap used engine and some breaks. And just like that...A beautiful customized mini bike from scraps.

Now your saying to yourself....why would I want to do this I'm over sized, or I don't have any children or whatever the reason is. Well...back to the point were a lot of people now of days are struggling. After i built this mini bike from scrap, I had my fun with it for a while, and then I sold it for triple the cost of what I paid for it originally.

You're probably thinking, oh this is way to hard for me, I'm not capable of doing this. Well don't, it's really a simple, fun project that you can accomplish and actually make some cash off of. Set aside a project for you and your son, or you and whomever, and work on it once or twice a week. Give it a shot! It's something fun, and educational for everyone.
