Looking Good Chris! Let's see some air under the tires, a little snow and ice shouldn't matter much.

Here I was about 20 years ago with a bike with about the same amount of power.



This one here was about 10 years ago



I don't think I have pictures of me one anything older than about 20 years ago, as Mom was pretty against bikes with motors. I think I do have some older go-cart pics I'll have to dig out.

I had a purple CB350 back in the 80's that I rode around until I ran into the front of a 70's Caddy, lol.

This is a 71 Rupp Scrambler minicycle (as they called them) I bought about eight years back, a carbon-copy of my first bike. Original right down to the tires. Rupp went bankrupt in 76, mostly due to the fact their main business was snowmobiles an we had two mild winters that they didn't sell enough units. It sits on the counter in my shop office, and even though there's also my 57 Pan in there this attracts more interest....

This is my mini bike from when I was 10 years old. It started as a Sears 2 1/2 HP, I will never forget walking into sears and the first thing I wanted to go look at was the mini bike display. I ended up putting a raked front fork with sting ray handle bars and a bannana seat, I painted it pearl white with gold spider webbing. I always wanted a Honda fifty back then but never did get one, but I do have a few now

A few is a relative term..one corners worth.
