Boy hate to show my age but I started in 1968 at the ripe old age of 6. My first bike was a Rupp Roadster still got some exhaust burn scars,lol then I fell in love with the yamaha 2strks and haven't stopped since. Switched to quads about 3 yrs ago.
Burn me and burry me in my gas tank.  Grin

I had a 1971? (ouch!) Honda ATC90 when I was 7.....rode it for a couple years.....cousin crashed on a 110 and broke 3 of his 4 limbs...we were all forced to sell.  Then I married PureLogic and we bought his Kodiac in 2003 and my Bruin 3 months ago!!  Big void in the middle.....but I guess you could say 25 years ago I started  Roll Eyes
Found a picture of one similiar to the one I had....how 'bout them tires??!! LOL  Grin
