This might be fun! We did this some time ago with first cars.

My first 'motorcycle' was a early 70's Rupp minibike similar to this one, but mine was obviously not pristine.

Mine was green with a black plastic tank and a Tecumsh 4HP engine with a pull starter.

Mine did not have rear shocks, and the chrome muffler exited under the seat.

I had so much fun with that bike.

The seminal event of puberty for me was riding Beverly Schmelnick around the neighborhood. She was much more beautiful than her name would suggest. We got 'chased' by the cops (suburban New Jersey) and I ducked into Marino Caraballo's yard and hid the bike behind his garage.

Beverly was excited by the 'bad boy' stuff. That was not my first kiss, but my first good kiss, and to this day one of my best.

My mother made me sell the Rupp.
