Gang,

I had been looking for one of these for a while and found two. Picked them up last night.

These are first edition QA50s KO model made from 1970-1972.

All original! Both run! The red one even has the tool kit underneath the seat.

Sorry a little sentimental for these. First mini-bike I rode. I guess you might say the MX-Files was born on one of these.

(I guess I need a yellow one for a complete set)

So, I guess we need others to pipe in on "the one" that started it all.

Happy 4th!


Todd

For some reason,the QA50 is a little tricky to get to shift right if you ever have the motor apart. Made a nice one out of two for a friend that picked them up for a hundred bucks.

Scottie, I still have my '68 Mini Trail. It still cuts a moto once in a while.
