Here's my story and I'm sticking to it.......
16 years ago my son, then 10, and I were driving along a road when we saw a minibike for sale on a front lawn. 500' past, it hit me "A Rupp!". Hard braking, 10 minutes of looking it over with $80 changing hands my son had his first motor vehicle! The tank was long gone along with the Tec engine (a B&S was adapted) torque converter, seat, etc. She was REAL rough! BUT she ran and that is all my son cared about. With some foam rubber and duct tape she had a "custom" seat. For the next 3 Summers he put what I thought was a million miles on it driving in circles around our 1 acre lot. "God love the neighbors...."
Anyway, the Rupp was loaned to his cousins who were 5 years younger as son David graduated to a quad runner. Several years lated David got his drivers license, the quad runner was sold and girls (Ahem....) became his main interest. High school, 4 years of college, and 3 years working full time came and went.
The date is now July 2012.........
