We used to race bicycles before anyone had a motorbike.
I'm older here, but this is the bike I raced my mates on -
around the grounds of local Catholic primary school. The racing
got pretty serious for some of us, but also was immense fun.
And often very, very funny. Heaps of stacks.
-----------------
My first unit was this go kart. It had no clutch, so was push-clunk-started,
then the user would leap in as it took off. Engine was a villiers out of a
cement mixer. I still love STP stickers! Other stickers are some little
flowery-hippie things ... perhaps out of gum wrappers?
There's a little on-off push kill button at very top of right handlebar
(like a lampshade's switch.).
Extra struts under seat after wood broke and one mate's arse fell through
while on the move. It was a crappy old thing, but I was excited as hell!
I then did a straight swap for my first bike ... a crappy old thin-barrel 125 Bantam.
