When it all started.

1972. I think it was a lil indian. String throttle and no fly wheel shroud (starter was broken). And yes it did catch the back of my leg on the fly wheel while riding (about 10 stitches). What a great memory.

I'm surprised you didn't start it by spinning it with your hand it looks like you were shaving by the time you were 12.

You should recreate that pic now. You would need to find someone with that car, and let them park behind you. It would be tough to pull off, but awesome!
