Blue Bonanza

I had one exactly like that Blue Bonanza, it was my first bike..... in 1968-69.

Got the Doodle Bug DB30 and couple of toys

We got this doodle bug around Christmas brand new and it is a real good time, then picked up a 90cc bike and a 50cc atv a few weeks later.

I grew up on a 68 model Honda Mini Trail 3 Speed, that is still in the family and still running strong.
Maybe those images worked.

That is what mine is, a Doodle Bug/Dirt Bug DB30.

That's probably a Honda Ruckus

and you are correct sir... i had to google it! haha

Is there any good place to order a rolling chassis like the DB30 where I could just put my own motor in it.

My little beast lol. Honda 50cc frame, extended handles, stiff shock, and a 125cc motor!!!

you like that better then the honda's? i've always found the china bikes to not be as good for wheelies as the crf's, i think it's because the wheel base and frames are not the same dimensions. i threw 88 kits on ours and they haul pretty good (although they are both still 3 speeds)

the UPC/Thump*'s are head and shoulders above the typical chinese crap. I had one of those too, broke spokes, axles, rotors, it was complete dookie. this one has an all aluminum frame, legit wheels and tires, a mikuni carb, i shock, etc.. the only thing i don't like is that it's GP shift.

oh i know, i wasn't being critical when i said chinese. i just have never ridden another 50cc style knock off that had the same incredibly easy to find balance point like a real honda. maybe it's in my head, maybe it's the frame/dimensions, maybe it's that the motors are not normally as linear with power, maybe a combination of all three. i don't mx mine so they are just used to tool around the neighborhood trying out new combo's, if i were going to jump it i'd need to find a better frame or buy something like you've got.

ah, as far as finding bp, this thing is a little more twitchy and nimble than a 50.. harder to find BP but its just like riding a 636 vs a 600rr, everything wants to balance a little differently.

didn't take your post as critical at all, just wanted to point out how much better this thing is than any other foreign bike i've ridden.

My brother and i (both in mid 20's) have been wanting a couple to ride around the neighborhood. and take places where they are welcomed

I recently purchased this one



and in the process of buying this one.
