Well Sherman, I'd take the Wayback Machine back to some CRAZY RICH society hell bent on world domination, possibly early England or Spain, and just bust out my 12 gauge auto, and in the chaos of "WHAT DEE HELL's goin on here?? 
hmy:" Just pilfer their 80 tons of raw gold and come back and buy whatever bike I wanted, already old and priceless.. :shifty: I'm sure a Spanish Gallion loaded to the brim with gold and Rubies and stuff will STILL cover the price of any minibike around.. :laugh:

Tough one!
In the 60's I would have killed for any Mini bike! Dad had a friend get killed on a street bike when he was young' so two wheels were taboo in my house. I wasn't successful talking then into a mini until 69, when a friend of mine was selling his z50, SCORE!! I mowed a lot of lawns at $3.00 per lawn, to pay for that thing, but I couldn't be happier! But the one bike I would like to own new, would be a mini cycle, a JT1 Yamaha.

any of you guys old enough to remember seeing mini bikes for sale in stores like pennys or sears ? They would have all the different ones lined up, there were stores that just sold minibikes.I can still remember standing in Sears around 1970 , I was 10 or 11 and wanted a mini bike badly. Sears at the time right before Christmas had this mini bike it could have been a Rupp Roadster or something like it with wire wheels and headlights.I do remember that it was blue. That was my dream bike back then from the first time that I saw it, so if I could use a time machine only once it would be to go back for that one bike.
Sure. Wards, too. But I didn't think they were nearly as cool as my Lil Indian. That was the only one that appealed to me at all when I was a kid. I've got a Lil Indian just like the one I had, so if I could hop on the wayback machine w/Sherman & Mr. Peabody, I'd go searching for various motorcycles, MGs and Mustangs that I sold over the years. There are a few that I wish I hadn't sold.
I would have stocked up on Hodaka powered Bonanzas ,and Rupp Black Widows from a $$$$$ point of view. I would really just like to have another Wards T777 or Retek Cheetah in mint shape, and I would be happy.But if I had a wayback machine I would probably just go back and invest a 1000 shares in Microsoft and then I would be set for life and could have all the minibikes I wanted :thumbsup:
