It Goes

Remember the sad and uncomfortable looking Mini-bike constrained in the back of Tom's van??

It runs.

Here it is next to one of those big CRF 230 Honda's.......

  1. Coop - haven't quite decided what that little bike reminds me of ... but it reminds me of something. The big question was, who rode it there?

  2. Hey Karen, I'm really curious about what it might remind you of and hope that you let me know.

    The 'license' plate says, in big bold letters, SYLVESTER. Tom doesn't live all that far away from Diamond's and often rides either a Metropolitan or his bicycle to coffee but I'm thinking this precious little machine rode to North Minneapolis in (or on) another mode of transport.

    Every year Tom rides something different to Sturgis and has been going for many years. Machines used have often been what few would expect or most would even consider. I see Tom on this in his Captain America helmet, a small bedroll lashed to those ample handlebars..........scurrying across South Dakota.

    1. I think it was in pretty good shape when Tom got it, just needed some TLC. Now he needs to get the sidecar put back on.

  4. That IS a mini-bike! Smaller than a Shriner's Honda Trail model?

    What ever gets ya going, I always say!

    Cool!

    1. I can't imagine it being much smaller and still go-able!
