We got it running and didnt have a throttle so I rode it around the yard and field next door with a string tied to the carb. it was cool. Thats the only one I ever had, got into dirt bikes very quickly thereafter. But I need to start looking for one.
That’s funny you trading a mini bike for a stereo. I promised my little sister that I would buy her one when she turned 13 years old. She was really excited because that was a big deal in the early 70’s. Well my brothers and sisters put their 2 cents in and said you should get a (nice stereo) she could get hurt and that’s not something for young girls.

When I told my sister maybe she should have the stereo, she started crying, I said ok stop crying I’ll get you the mini bike. She is now 52 and still says how much she loved to ride and she was equal to the rich kids because hers was brand new and they rode all over. She broke her arm from a tumble but she still rode with the cast on her arm.
