The Old Rupp mini- circa 1969

[Nashville Kat]

Dug these out from mom's photo bin and scanned- me and my friend Ron fooling with the Rupp mini-bike I had back when. I think it was 2 1/2 HP Briggs and Stratten with a centrifical clutch- it got up to maybe 30. I later put a McCulloch 2 stroke chainsaw motor on it- higher top end but no accelleration. WAY too loud!

I got more into cycling a year or two later and the mini was soon history.
