DESCRIPTION & UPGRADES:
UP FOR SALE IS A VERY COOL UNIQUE BIKE THAT HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR YEARS.  THE SMALLEST DIRTBIKE EVER MADE! (THATS WHAT MOST PEOPLE KNOW IT AS!)  THE 1969 INDIAN MINI OR MM5A.  AT 57LBS, 1.5hp, AND LESS THAN 18" TALL AT THE BARS.  FITS PERFECTLY FOR A 2 TO 4 YEAR OLD.  MY DAUGHTER IN THE LAST PHOTO IS NOW 5 AND SHE IS EVEN ON THE BIG SIDE FOR IT.
CONDITION/STORY: I PICKED THE BIKE UP IN TACOMA WASHINGTON IN APPROX. 2016.  IT RECEIVES SO MANY COMMENTS, SITTING ON THE SHELF, YOU CANT HAVE A CLASSIC 60'S INDIAN JUST TUCKED IN THE CORNER. I WOULD BET TO SAY THE PERSON PURCHASING THIS, 50% OF THE BIDDERS WILL BUY IT, WIPE IT DOWN AND DO NNNNOTHING! IT LOOKS COOL THE WAY THAT IT IS! IT IS THE DEFINITION OF "A WALL HANGER".  WOULD BE COOL IN THE GARAGE, IN A SHOP, IN A BUSINESS, AT A BAR.
IT IS COMPLETE MINUS THE CHAINGUARD.  AFTER PURCHASING THE BIKE I BROUGHT IT HOME, ADDED SOME 40:1 PREMIX INTO THE CYLINDER AND GAVE IT A PUSH, AND IT FIRED UP!  SO THE CONDITION I SELL IT AS IS "WILL RUN".  IF YOU'RE PURCHASING TO RIDE, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED BRAKE CABLES, CARB CLEANING, AND A SEAT COVER.  THE SEAT IS COMPLETE. THE METAL BASE IS GOOD AND INTACT. THE FOAM HAS STARTED TO SPLIT BUT IF IT WERE COVERED WITH A NEW COVER THAT IS AVAILABLE ON EBAY FOR 50 DOLLARS, IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 50 YEARS.  THE EXHAUST IS RUST FREE. THE FRAME IS IN GREAT CONDITION, AS WELL AS THE WHEELS ETC.  ITS A BIKE I WOULD NOT RESTORE, BUT SIMPLY GET CABLES, THROTTLE CABLE, SEAT COVER, AND CALL IT A DAY. GO RIDE.  PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU PLAN ON PAYING AT THE END OF THE AUCTION WITHIN 1 DAY. I HAVE DONE THIS MANY TIMES. I'M A SEASONED EBAY SELLER. PLEASE SEE INFO BELOW REGARDING SHIPPING/STORAGE.
Shipping & Payment:
I WOULD PREFER TO ONLY WORK WITH 1 OF 2 COMPANIES.  FIRST I'D HAVE TO SUGGEST CALLING TIM AT MOTOSHIPPERS.COM  FOR A QUOTE.
TELL HIM YOU'RE BUYING A BIKE FROM DARREN IN WASHINGTON STATE AND YOU NEED TO SPECIFY THAT ITS THE SIZE OF A CHILDS BICYCLE! 57BS! 50cc!
IF THE SHIPPING QUOTE OR TIME FRAME DOESNT WORK FOR YOU, PLEASE CALL HAULBIKES.COM  SECONDLY, I WILL HOLD THE BIKE FOR 30 DAYS FOR YOU AFTER PAYMENT. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LONG TIME, BUT IT TAKES 7-10 DAYS FOR A CASHIERS CHECK TO CLEAR AND IT WILL TAKE A FEW WEEKS UNTIL MOTOSHIPPERS OR HAULBIKES CAN GET TO THE BIKE FOR PICKUP. PLEASE MAKE THE 0 DOLLAR PAYPAL PAYMENT WITHIN 24  HOURS. CASHIERS CHECK SENT TO ME AFTER BIKE AUCTION ENDS.  LETS MAKE THIS A HAPPY, FAST, GREAT TRANSACTION FOR BOTH OF US! HAPPY BIDDING ON A RARE BIRD.
