lol man its funny you say this.. my brother and i did the same thing growing up we didnt put it behind our bike we just push the mower around the neighborhood knocking on doors asking if they wanted there yard cut.. we used my dads mower and weedeater but had to buy our gas.. we wanted to buy a go cart and our mon said we could if we saved the money.. the go cart was $300.00 we worked all summer cutting grass and saved the money and then asked our dad to go get it because if we asked our mom she would have came up with another issue why we couldnt have it because she didnt want us to get.. man she wasnt happy with my brother and i and our dad came home with that thing in the back of the truck...

you tell a 12 year old to do that now and you would see deer in the headlight look in there face and hear do what?

lol man you are so right.. i remember the throttle cable got froze up so we hooked a string to it so we could still ride it and it shut off so i put it at half throttle and in the middle of the street with just shorts on no shirt or shoes i started it up and it took off with me behind it holding on to the starting rope and i got it worked out and it hit a tree and broke the frame.. had to find a friends dad who could weld it.. another time i was riding down a trail and hit a cabbage tree.. looking back at it my mom was right we shouldnt have gotten it but man what great times...

haha first down neutral in between 1st and up to 2d. man those where the days. i had a suzuki dr 200, a kx 125 and 250. they dont make them like those anymore. everything is 4 stroke now and completely different

TweetYamaha RT 100 white and red. Smashed that bike into a ditch and went right over the handle bars. Crushed my nuts and bent the frame. Thought I was gonna need a welder but that dirt bike was made to take a beating. Put the wheel between my legs, twist the handle bar, and fixed lol. That bike was the reason for my first gas syphoning. There was a hose that attached the gas cap to the bike so it didn't get loose and lost from all the beatings. It was probably a hose for just that reason lol. I made a lot of riding friends in those days. Trying out each others ATV's was fun. All we wore were helmets too. Everything else was just plain old regular clothes. And if someone got stuck, usually the quads and trikes, we all stopped to get them unstuck and keep on riding until dark. No lights on dirt bikes.

Yeah, but the spirit of this comment still stands: I used to cut neighbors' lawns with my dad's push mower when I was 11, 12, 13. Too young to have working papers but old enough to want "stuff". Like parts for my BMX bike that I rode all over creation. Or the 12-speed that I wanted so badly so I could go father faster. Ny parents didn't just buy me that shit... I had to earn my own money and buy it myself.
