We will be starting a new page soon.  It’s called

“My first ride”. Send in your photos and

comments to hankins@qnet.com.  We’ll do our

best to post them so the whole world can see

what we started out on.  Moped?  Scooter? 1

lung beezer?  I can imagine we’ll see everything

from a Cushman to a Big Bear Chopper.

Kick-Start, You’re the Best!

These photo’s are from 1985.  This weird scooter is trying to be a car.  I don’t know if Rick ever got it going.  It was pulled out of some guys back yard in the SFV.   Contact us if you have any info on this contraption…
