8years old, I had a 2 1/2 hp minibike with a lawnmower throttle control, no return spring!

I had to trade my Clinton 4 hp engine for the minibike frame and smaller engine, and my Dad got me the parts to finish it.

Gone through quite a few bikes in the intervening 35 years.....

8 - mini quad at a fair...
Don't give up.

Not now, not soon, not after being continually knocked down.

If you never give up, you can never truly fail.

Well, that sure brings back memories! Mine would sling the chain off every so often... I still have a scar just above my left ankle. :boxed:
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?
