MiniBike Trivia Question...

#1
Back in the 70's, Shwarck Quarries, near Lincoln, Nebraska, used to open it's gates to recreational riders on the weekends for a $2 entry fee...

There were acres of trails and ponds for the minibikers to explore, plus trials courses and hillclimb areas for motorcycles...

A great deal of the afternoon was usually spent BBQing and looking over each other's bikes...

I remember seeing a minibike that had footpegs mounted on (roughly) 4" long angled shafts that attached to the frame with spline nuts/spline bolts...

Similar to the design for a kickstarter or shifter...

The idea was that the rider could pull the peg arm off the spline bolt mount on the frame, rotate the arm until the peg was a comfortable height and position, then push the arm back on and retighten the retaining nut...

Anybody remember the brand/model of this mini?

BTW, there was an AMF factory in Lincoln in the 70's, and those little Harleys were everywhere you looked for a while...employee sales were dirt cheap, but I can't remember the exact prices for the different models.
