Default First mini bikes

My first was a Artic Cat Climber. Was hard to be cool as it was a pull start, had to fake it. Centrifugal clutch as well.

Moved up to a Suzuki 90, you know the one with the HUGE banana seat. Didnt even try to be cool with that.

Next was a 1981 cr250 Fun!

Next a 1996 yz250 Fun!

Next a 750 Magna. Boring as hell!!!!!!

Finally a 2008 Fatty WOOHOOOO

All our minibikes were built at home ( lots of mechanically inclined fathers in my neighborhood). I had one of the cooler minibikes on the block if only because my Dad brought home a manual clutch assembly from some industrial machine tool. So while everyone else had the centrifical, I actually had a clutch lever and positive engagement!

Best toy was actually a go cart that we mounted a 125 Yamaha dirt bike engine on. That thing was stupid fast and cost me 8 tickets at once! Dad was not amused at all.
