Wtb: my first ever build

Looking for a cheap cheap whatever that can be rebuilt
Nothing that is a complete right off -I mean like cracked case or something.
I want something small I can dissect and repair and in the same process learn how to do this. This will help me maintain my own racer without bothering others to help me. People's patience only runs so deep and like John Wayne said" life is tough but it's tougher if you're stupid"
So, to not be stupid I'd like to get something simple I can learn to repair.

Let me know what you have and as close to crap town (Ottawa) as possible

Thanks eh!

Hey Terry. Have a bunch of bikes to fit your needs and budget. In montreal, so only two hours away if you don't speed. ; ) ........Is this to be a future race bike? Or just something to practice your rebuild skills? If future race bike, what size you looking for? To run in which classes? Run your thoughts here and I'll tell you what I've got. Have two strokes, four strokes, 100cc, 125cc, 350cc, 400cc, 650cc, 750cc.....take your pick. All pretty cheap and in need of love. Nothing crazy, like busted rods or crank bearings. All motors turn over, all bikes have wheels, forks, seats, brakes and tanks. Let me know... :D

Was that a side car attached to the bike? An added bonus

Cost me $350 and 100km round trip to pick it up last year. Sorry, but can't do better than $400. I'll build it into something myself over the winter. Won't bother with the pics. Cheers.
