LOL You cats are nuts. Well after looking at450 riders topic ( 2 strokes suck) i figuard we might get right to the hart of the matter. And have alittle fun with it.  And where do we get tickets to this race? Sounds like it would be the funniest thing you would ever hope to see.

If I knew where my old Taco mini bike was (probably long gone to mini bike heaven) I’d race it and you guys wouldn’t stand a chance against that Brigs & Straten, balloon tired, no suspension, big metal plate for a rear brake, no front brake, no fenders and big wide seat mini bike. I wonder if I can still find a tote goat somewhere.

Any way, My dad can whoop all your dads. He can reminisce he’s faster that anyone ‘cuase he rode with JN and Whitey Martino, Malcolm, Dinky, that dude that had the dog on his tank and more that I don’t remember. What’s more he was a real man ‘cause he rode a Sachs. (no kidding, with the winkle front end and everything).

Thats nothing! how about a briggs and stratton 5 hp put into a crudely welded frame with only a front break from a old columbia bike and the seat was from a old chevy seat fome folded over and duckt taped ! The only thing that worked well was the throttle as i remember. And the break was get off or hit something! I hit my aunts car witch was parked. and i cryed. and my mom said i could never ride it again! Iv been hooked on dirt bikes ever since!

OK I want to know, How many of us had a type of “mini bike” with the 5hp Briggs engine? I am guessing that only those of us born prior to the 70’s that started riding in the 50’s and 60’s even know what I’m talking about. (Jees I’m getting old…I mean better looking and faster)

Dude, that was the truth, After that my cousin went into the army and left me his elsinore . i was 12 and rode that bike till it just died! I dint know anything about takeing care of bikes. Alli knew is that i coulnt touch the ground and he used to shut the gas off on me and i would crash. And he would yell at me for crashing his bike! Now i laughf, But i used to get soooooo mad. LOL. I had a good teaching when it comes to dirt bikes, And thats the school of hard knockes! And for those who dont know......The briggs and strat was the KING of the mini bike. And go cart. And just for you SOV...My real name is Anthony And my DOB is 10/21/66 !

i had a honda fatcat when i was like 6.the motor got messed up or smthin' like that and my dad put a brings and straton 5hp motor on it.i don't know if that counts?

Do you realize we are the OLD timers on this board? Gee i dont feel old!

You're still young tony, may I call you Tony? to bad, I just did kid.

07/14/60 have you by 6 LOL

The old elsinore's riped. Do you remember the first YZ 100? Before the 125 and 250? That was a cool bike. If I remember right. It came out the year before the CRs and YZ125's and 250's. I'm thinking about '72, maybe '71.

Talk about the school of hard knocks, my dad told me to never leave your bike. Push it home if you had to. So one day I'm out about 15 miles from the house and I crash and brake the chain and levers and don't remember what all. So I'm hurting like hell and I start pushing my bike home (no cell phones you know) and its getting dark. I pushed for about 4 hours when my dad pulls up and starts to yell at me, then sees how bad my bike is and I'm covered with blood so he loads my bike up and drives me to his friends so I can get cleaned up so my mom doesn't freak. At least I told him where I was going riding so he knew where to look for me. Lucky for me I went back there before I crashed.

Wow, Hadn't thought of that for a few years.

yea that counts

I think Hero is 41, He is old too and I think Grizz is getting up there.

Nice one, Hows this. Late teens Arguing with my girlfriend on the phone, Its about 11:30 pm, Been up partying, So she only lives 3 miles away and i tell her that im comeing down to talk to her and straiten things out. Well being as iv been drinking i dint want to take my car and i can get to her house through the woods and only have to be on the main road for about 1/4 mile, So in my great state of mind i Figuar ill take my bike! well i had a  SUKI SP200 (4 stroke) with a light that when you hit a bump it would go out and you have to smack it to go back on. Well get into the trail and realize i should NOT be on this bike! Well you guessed it, Light goes out ,Im beating the crap out of it, My bike goes off the tight trail and down a bank, Bike lands on top of me with my head going down hill. I almost went to sleep right there if it wasnt for the gas comeing out of the over flow on me, So im in your standard riding gear, Sweat pants, T shirt, sneakers, And helmet! As i try to push my bike off me on a up hill my foot peg diggs into my leg and ripping my pants clean off me! Its dark as chit and im so dissorientated i come out of my pants and the bike. Left all right there. Showed up to her place 2 hours later in boxers,bleeding,Well fair to say That was the stuff she was talking about.lol. Bike was still there! Never did that again!

That’s great, lol. Well at least you had the presents of mind to put on a helmet. So did she clean you up or just let you bleed?

I think we aught to have this grudge race at the MGM Grand in Vegas. We could fill the seats and have a HUGE party and invite all the show girls and everyone on here and even Mr Jimmy and Pete and all the staff at DR (They don’t get to race though). Maybe well even ride the track. (What am I saying, of course we’ll ride the track. As soon as I get all of you drunk as skunks, we’ll race and then I will win as all of you wont be able to see any to well and will fall over in the 1^st turn as your equilibrium will be all screwed up). (Did I say that out loud? Na, they can’t know my plan. I’ll be crowned the Dirt Rider.com winner and I’ll make everyone call me “El Conquistador”)
