Yes one of my winter projects. The oldminibikes.com forum had a build off with a gokart class so that kept me motivated built it in 5 months. I also built the trailer for it from scratch. That turned out to be quite usefull for hauling around mowers and quads. Iv been playing with it quite alot the past month and have it in the garage right now the trans was popping out of gear the shift keys got worn so i fixed that and its ready for action again.

It's my grand daughter's funnest part of the day, when she steps into that bus. For grade one. The innocence is a joy to see.

that is so frickin' cool! My inner 8 year old is about to explode it's so cool!

I feel like the engine needs to be different from a regular go kart engine. Presumably, that thing isn't a high revving speedy sort of thing, and so probably prefers a more torquey lower revving motor?

They are funny. For fun, I googled bird skeleton and they popped right up under shopping.

The Amaryllis just wouldn't flower during the winter for many years.
Finally I cut off all the tops and let the bulb dry out of frustration.
It came back this year.

Our Amaryllis haven't even started to grow this year. I think there might have been a freeze earlier that got 'em.
