I'm sure that some of you guys had mini-bikes or some kind of briggs or Tecumseh powered tiny vehicle that most likely got you into trouble with your parents, neighbors or the law!
My 1st was a homemade mini-bike made from a small bicycle frame. My Dad welded a platform for the Briggs and the "jack shaft"/manual clutch that came off an old "Reel" type, self-propelled mower. Wheel barrow rear wheel with a rear brake that actually worked and a Schwinn springer front end and a 20" front wheel. It was the slowest of the group, but fun to ride. Put a lot of miles on that baby in Palenville, NY. Wish I had some picts.
The fastest one was my "Lil Indian", (not so politically correct anymore, I guess).
