Oh great.... Nicky's here....

[Nick Flores]

What's up fellas? One of my buddies has been lettin' us tear around on his old mini bike and I decided I should get in on the action. Keeping my eyes open for a cool old frame, bought an old Briggs Golden Boy engine at a yard sale, and impatiently awaiting that first ride.

Golden Boy was a 'Brand Name' of lawn equiptment.
We have a Avondale here in PA also.

Not far from Cali, and most of my neighbors are from there, but I'm here just west of Phoenix, AZ.

No, I sure don't. I'm an eastsider and moved out to the westside only about a year ago.

A few minutes spent google-ing showed that "Golden Boy" Briggs were a brand of garden edgers and other lawn-type equipment. I'll post a picture of mine tomorrow when its daylight and I'm sipping a cold one enjoying my day off.
