I had a Cushman Turtleback motor scooter when I was a kid. Wore out the centrifical clutch, repaired it once and then wore out the engine. Crashed it about half dozen times. Those were the good old days.
Come on Stealth - don't tease us, give us a bigger pic of that chopper! I had a Rupp Mini Bike myself (with I cannot remember - either a 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 Briggs)!
Stingray? Schweet!
Darn, my Mom never let me near anything like that until I was 16 - though I hid a Honda CB 100 at my buddys house she never knew about!
Honda 160 w/ money ($600 borrowed from my Grandmother) ...paid back every dime w/10 dollars interest from my grocery stockboy job.
(Had it two months and bought a sportster) :-)

A Kawasaki 90cc 2-stroke with a pressed sheet-metal frame. I traded something useless for it. A very cheaply built bike that my friends and I would abuse to no end. One day I thought it would be cool to rev the snot out of it until it blew up. I opened the throttle. Everyone winced and squinted while waiting for a connecting rod to shoot out of the case. Nothing. It was wound up way past red-line for minutes. The pipe was red hot. But it kept running as if it was happy to please.
We gained a new respect for that bike after that. At some point I traded it away for something, and kind of miss it to this day.
