    Well before I became a family man many years ago I drove my Big Block Nova 4-speed with a Hurst Vertical Gate shifter everywhere, ran flat 12's in the Quarter with a tire equivalent to say a M/T street strip tire. Yes it does take a little tinkering.

      Pondering if we are going to have a long cold winter. Highs in the 30s and its only October. Two days after it was in the 80s today.

        Same here, pondering how crappy the weather is. Normally we’re still cruising until about Thanksgiving, not this year.

          I'm pondering if I'm crazy or not because I'm driving to North Carolina tomorrow to pick up a minibike I bought on ebay?

            Nothing like a good road trip! I’m looking for some small cycles myself for the grandkids to ride. Maybe older Yamaha DT or Enduros. Have a good trip!

              Thanks. This one is for me not the grandkids! It's the bike that I learned how to ride on.

                    We made it home safe and sound from the banzai run to NC.

                          Pondering the strange weather. Had to go buy a blaze orange t-shirt for deer hunting tomorrow as temps are going to be in the 70’s. Normally for deer season here temps would be 20’s-40’s. Some years much colder. All my orange coats are way to heavy for this year. Maybe I have an orange Forum Freak shirt!

                                Here it is. It's an unrestored rider with less than 900 miles on the odometer. Everything seems to work except the neutral indicator and the rear hand brake. What a fun little thing it is. We picked it up Wednesday night and I didn't want to leave it in the bed of the truck over night in a hotel parking lot so we put it in the backseat. LOL
