I used to ride a mini bike, 'Gator-Gad-a-Bout', back in the early sixty's when I was in my late teens, in the Navy. My main transportation. Never forgot the fun. In 1979 I picked up a couple basket cases, for the kids, right? Never got them together. Moved them lots of times. Now that I'm retired and found 'Old Mini Bikes', I've found out what they were, and started restoring, for the Grandkids, right? One is an early sixties Fox, model #1138 and the other is a bigger dirtbike, a Rupp 198 MC - Thunder Bolt. I've also picked up an old Taiwanese frame with a running Briggs for me to play with while I work on the others. Lots of info on the Fox but nobody seems to be talking about the Rupp. I haven't found anybody with info ,as yet.
I'll keep reading your blurbs. If any of you have any info about what year this thing is, I'd apprceate it.
