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.

Now that's a cool sister, and even cooler big brother for getting it for her. I may have said it wrong I traded the stereo to an older kid for the mini bike. And I was just thinking..............hmmmmmmm........ I can't remember what I traded the mini bike for. Lol I remember the frame cracked and I got my mom to take me somewhere to get it welded. Youre little sister and I must be around same age 52 and it was the early 70's. You could ride them around the neighborhood and not get busted. They would just tell you to get off the street. Now it would be 3 or 4 tickets. Back then they were more about your safety, now it's about the money. Hmmm I think I need to check craigslist, might be some on there..........
