Reminiscing a Ride




We spotted one of these 2 1/2HP minibikes for sale at a Sears last week - I didn't realize these "barebones" bikes were still manufactured (shows that I need to get out more).


Uncle Pete purchased a pair of them years ago, and they were ridden through the woods bordering the Blue Springs Run, around his property and heaven knows where else - no helmets, sometimes even shoeless, shirtless and in shorts...it's a wonder everyone survived*


.


*Uncle Pete did donate large quantities of his epidermis (and beyond) when he laid his minibike down in his own driveway....

Burning your hand or leg on the muffler was the most dangerous part...from a kid's point of view
