Default Check out this mini-chopper I won for free!!!

I was a Napa auto parts getting some stuff a while back and I filled out a sweepstakes card and put it in the box. Some guy called me yesterday and said that I won!!!

It has a 50cc motor, 4 speed transmission, electric and kick start, alloy wheels, tool kit, working headlight with highbeam, and even a horn.

This lil thing moves!!! I must have gotten it up to 45-50 miles per hour topped out.

Not sure if I should keep it or sell it. It's a blast to ride around on.

Here's some pics.

Turbos...spraying??? Are you guys serious?


I wonder how much it costs. It's definately better than some of the cheaper mini-bikes that I see in Pepboys and places like that.

If somebody wants to offer me some cash... I might just sell it.

If I was a kid and my dad bought this for me...

What's even more is seeing me ride around on it.

It's almost fast enough to ride on the street. I spent my lunch break speeding around.

Josh don't sell yourself short. Put that thing up for sale ~200-300 under retail price and make some $.

www.craigslist.org - You will move that thing pretty quickly at a good price on there. Just dont advertise you got it for free.

Unless money isn't a problem for you, then I would say donate it.

Well, I need to have two turbos rebuilt after spending 10k on the kit... so money is a problem for me.

Hell I'll keep it and use it for a stress reliever. That little bike rocks!

However, if there was a board member here that wants to give his son a very special birthday present.... I wanted to give the father that option. I'm sure as hell not giving it away though. I'm not Bill Gates

That thing is pretty cool Josh! And 50 M.P.H.?! Damn! That thing sounds like it is of good quality and the pictures make it look pretty nice as well.

And what's this about your turbos taking a ****? What happened man??
