King O'Lawn made three mini bikes for JC Agajanian with ascending horsepower Briggs motors: the 3 HP Aggie 96, the 4 HP Aggie 97, and the 5 HP Aggie 98. One thing to note is that the 97 was sold past 1969, when they switched from the Briggs 4 HP to the Tecumseh HS40.

Hi all, been a member here for quite some time but stopped visiting after selling my Boonie about 9 years ago in the Chicago area (one of my greatest regrets!). Was given the bike when I was about 10 and should have never sold the thing- picture proof attached, although clearly I did some work on it.

Bought the Taco 22 for the kids to Ride in the Fields before all the new buildings and housing were built.

Well I just got this from my cousin who took an old slide and took a picture of it while projected on the wall. It was in 1966 when I was 15 years old. It is my old Rupp Continental Custom with a Rupp accessory tail pipe. That is what started it all many years ago. I do not have the original but got a replacement some years ago too. $225 is what they were when you could get a Lil Indian for $129 at the local slot car track. The good old days for sure.
