100hp minibike.
About midway in the video. 100hp minibike.
I had a bonanza when I was little. Mine only had a 3hp. ![]()

Ah, memories.
One of those memories includes my Moms' flower bed and me not being instructed on the correct use of the brake. ![]() I think I still have some of those magazines. I know I still have Car Craft Vol.1 Num. 1.

Excellent vid! I have an old minibike frame in the shed, and I'm thinking olive drab, ammo boxes and the NIB HF 6.5 hp motor I have in stock. I think a 30mm Mikuni will be perfect.

Are the minibikes making a comeback? I don't see any around here.

I think so. I am seeing more about them. I remember my older brothers getting some mail order Heald Broncs. We assembled them in the basement. Would have been about winter 1981. I was little.

My first 'motorcycle' was a Rupp minibike with a 4HP Tecumseh (IIRC).
The first girl I ever took for a motorcycle ride was Beverly, and she was impressed as I think she was the first girl I ever (really) kissed. Chicks dig minibikes.

Misplaced modifier. VERY busy day, in a rush. I'll fix it but it is also true as written ;-)

I also need a new keyboard. After about 2 years of beating my frustration into this one it's ready for the scrap heap.
