Default Hello fom PR.

Hi! I'm from Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Nostalgia brings me back to go karts. I'm 34 yrs old, a 4 yrs old daughter, a 1 yr old boy and the sandwishes sorry I meant: and a wife. A lots of good memories I have are with go kart, dirtbikes, camping with familly and friends. I went back to my parents property and walk around the the area where we used to play, bout 3 acres and still almost the same. My kids are growing up and I'm starting to get ready for hours of fun.

My favorite hobby is search in the classifieds cheap vehicles (toys) that need some kind of reparations, fix them, enjoy them or resale.

At the moment my fun toys list:

4x4 vehicle capable of haul a small camper tailer or a pop up. convetible or soft top. (checked)


go kart (checked)


another go kart (still searching)
pop up trailer (not searching yet, have plenty of time 'till I really need it)

I saw this on the net that I'll love to built in a near future.


I take a look in the frankenbuggy section and I think this yerf dog wont have that 150cc for too long, nothing big, something like 250 with reverse.

Well! Now u guys have an idea of the new member here and my plans.

Welcome to the site.

Puerto Rico huh?????

I hear you guys have some wicked fast 150cc scooters. Wonder what you'll be able to do with that 150cc Yerf Dog go kart?

Today I ride the go kart fo the first time, is not doing well in the low end, needs some kind of reparations, but the top speed is good. If I can fix the engine I'll keep it like that for a while, I mean not too fast. (I'm an old man )

Replace the stock axle sprocket with a 39t - You will see plenty of low end power. The small front wheels also hold the buggy back more than you would think. Once you have 20-22" front tires, it will roll over things instead of brake.

Well! A little update in my plans, Yerf is working fine so is on hold waiting for other projects to be complete. Few weeks ago I put back the Bronco in the road, still needs some rust repairs and brake check, but the engine and the rest are doing good.

Last saturday, I woke up early and went in the bronco to pick up this folding camper that needs roof and lift system repairs.


Things are coming along good.
