Thats cool. Alot of kids were more fortunate than me.
I started with a 3.5hp B&S solid frame mini bike, later was given a Hodaka Ace100 that I traded for a '79 IT250 that I thought was the shit back then being 15.
LOL
I trust you have good memories of that YZ?

I had that YZ when I was 13 and I worked on a farm the entire summer for it! Yeah, great memories though. My first bike was a Rupp Scrambler with a 3.5 Briggs. It was my dad's as a kid, and is still in his barn. I break it out every couple years when I visit.

Not here, but I bet my parents have some in NY, at least I could have my father snap a few pics if you're that interested.

The funny thing was I had it at my buddies place "hiding" it for 2 months trying to fix it as it dint have a spark, I later found out the guy that sold it to me told my dad I bought it that night! My mum and dad just din't say anything as they wanted to see how long it'd take for me to tell 'em lol
The guy that sold it to me told them "its fast as fuk but don't worry he'll never get it running", it took me 2 months of messing around to figure out it had a bad magneto, I'll remember forever the first time it sparked, I almost came in my pants
