I bought a 2 stroke gasoline engine kit for a bicycle last year for about $80 and it was the best money I spent in a long time. The thing is a POS, it hurts to ride long distances, it drops parts all over the road, breaks down all the time, and the original engine wore out after 2,500 miles or so. I have a larger motorcycle but still, for $80, three moving parts, and a couple hours work there is nothing more fun than this thing. I've got some motor parts coming in the mail to get it ready for spring.

I love lawn tractors too. Done up right they can be just as much fun as a typical 4 wheeler but for a fraction of the price. There's just something about detonating dollar bills that put a smile on my face.
