a yz 125 yamaha and a ktm 300 sx....haven't ridden dirt since i was able to ride street. Thinking about going back to some dirt riding as my oldest son is getting old enough for a 50cc, I think.

 

I found an old Whizzer motor in a Junk yard and three days later it was on my bike, It was faster n anything else in the neighborhood. It is a good thing that it was fast as it didn't run very long at a time. I graduated to a Cushman Eagle in 1953. That ran a long time but wasn't very fast. It did good till my dad traded it for a old pre war 65hp Aeronca Champ. I learned to fly in that one. I stayed in Airplanes till 1997 flyin Jets for the Nav and then while still a youngin bought a Gold Wing. I rode them till I grew up Yesterday and now on a loaner Ultra till mine comes in.

 

Bird mini bike in 1968 and a Honda Trail 90 in 1970.
There use to be a lot of open feilds and orchards around my parents house.Also use to ride on Hwy 280 when it was being built.Would also ride next to railroad tracks and had a couple creek beds to ride in which we could go for miles.

 

Now this one will date me!! Cushman Eagle, 2-speed w/ 8 hp Briggs/Straton engine. Got it at 14 and got hit by a car from behind. Broke both legs and some ribs but I got a college education out of the deal.

Still wish I had the old scooter (before it got wrecked). I hear they are worth big $$$$ today!

 

Briggs powered mini-bikes, Honda Z50, CT70, XR75.....and whatever else I could get my hands on!

Brigs & stratton mini bike
Suzuki 90cc not sure the model but had big tires and could have been licensed for the street
Suzuki 185cc
Yamaha YZ 125
Husquavarna 430cc

 

50cc Honda looked like a girls bike. Big plastic leg sheild in the front. After that 125 Penton and 250 Husky. The Husky could pull stumps in first gear. Had a 250 CZ for a while.

 

Several Briggs-powered minibikes and a 2-stroke 1972 Suzuki TS125 that ran like crap most of the time but was pretty hot when it had its A-game on...[sm=lildevil.gif]
