AMC RULES 37,102 #76 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I know, this air cleaner's decal is white.Gary, I agree. The Rupp decal isn't correct but, in my mind... those crossed winners flags seem like the perfect way to commemorate the Indy 500 Special.

squonk 40,739 #79 Posted October 10, 2015 I thought I recognized those decals. I had a Rupp minibike once, had a Tecky engine on it too! Friend of mine had a Fox mini bike with the 5 horse Tin Indian. Another friend had a Kawi 75CC bike and picked on that Tecky and challenged him to a drag race. They took off with the Kawi drawing an early lead, but the 1st guy reached down and grabbed the governor lever and it was all over. Kawi never had a chance! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 40,739 #81 Posted October 10, 2015 That little Fox ran for quite a while. I think the bike wore out and then he just out grew it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 40,739 #85 Posted October 10, 2015 All I had was a 10 speed bike. They rode those mini bikes everywhere. I was a lot taller than them but needless to say they were a lot heavier! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
