    Found a Dirt Bike...

    Found this by the curb...Had not stopped for this originally, but it was underneath a bunch of trash bags... Saw the tire of it first. Any one know anything about it?

    from the size I would say it is probably a 50cc possibly 80, these litttle things can be a lot of fun! only thing that worries me is the new paint job, and it was under trash bags, hope it dont turn out to be stolen.

    From what I've read through the past few minutes, Baja is a Chinese brand and they are known for breaking down constantly. Supposedly parts fall off of them. I'm assuming someone got fed up with it and chucked it to the curb...and further degraded it by putting garbage on top of it. I would try to fix it (I will try to fix anything) or at least part it out. I'm assuming there may be a market for at least the tires and wheels, possibly other things like engine parts, etc. Good find though! I would have poo'd myself if I would have found that while curb surfing.
