Planet Minis

Does anyone know of a regular swap meet for Minis? Or would any local Dallas riders be interested in starting one? This is an expensive hobby and I know I've got parts that people need, so I assume others have parts I need.

Thanks,
Justin

Thanks for the info. I did a search and found a swap meet for full size bikes on August 2nd in Corinth, is this what you were talking about or is there one that specializes just in minis? I might be willing to host a small one in Rockwall if there are enough people interested.

where in corinth?! when?! lol i never end up finding anybody around me in denton to buy or swap parts and at least shoot the breeze and talk shop

You can go to www.texasscooter.com for the info. Although it is a motorcycle event, it's not exactly what I had in mind. I've got 3 Z50s and a CT70. One of the z50s is a parts bike and the CT70 is far from complete. I have parts I don't need and I assume there are other out there that have parts I might need. So rather than continue to listen to the wife complain about the "junk" in the garage, I thought it might be nice to see if there were others out there like me and do some swapping. (For parts, not the wife) I would also like to chat with others who are doing mini projects and get tips, ideas, etc. I've read a lot on the forums, but it's always nice to know someone locally you can call on.

Thanks for the reply, maybe we will get some others on here to chime in.

Well my excuse for getting the bikes has been my son. If I bought anything too big my wife might suspect something... It was bad enough last year when I told her I was going to see a guy about a minibike and came back with 4. After I finish up some of these projects maybe I'll get to build something a little bigger. Send over the friend request.
