Picked this up today. An early 70's Deckson Daredevil with a Kirby 2 stroke engine. All complete but will get a resto. Runs & rides, motor has good compression so won't get touched, carb needs a rebuild & tune. Too cool for school.
Cheers, Mike.

OMG......................... :o I had one of them as my first bike :cup: , that's a flash back ;D . I think it was called a Rockhopper. Can't wait to see it after the reno !
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
When I was a kid, the Deckson Eagle was popular.
Does it have the "dink-diddle-dink-dink" sound from the centrifugal clutch??
I wasn't rich enough to own one. I had a home made version....a motor-mower engine between 2 wheel-barrow wheels. Had heaps of fun, but the kidneys copped a pounding.......
That looks very cool.
Brings back memories of screaming along the beach at Avalon near Geelong on one. And going tits up in a drain.
Keep the pics coming and show us the results

The Rockhopper was very similar. Slightly different in the frame. Was sold as a Deltek Rockhopper.
Cheers, Mike.

.....Deltek....
There's another name from the past.......
I love the old minibikes. Here's my project, the bike was given to me after I commented on the one Jack Black was riding on Yo Gabba Gabba.

That's a real blast from the past those things. ;D

one of those would look pretty good mounted on the drawbar

Me too. One side of the bars snapped when my sister was riding it, she came off and had a heap of stitches in her knee!
I'd almost give my right arm to buy it off you :)
I thought mine was the last one left
