Nice toys Truth. My childhood toys, consisted of Cap guns, and toy trucks and tractors. At age 14, I bought my first big toy with money I earned from Summer jobs. It was a 1975 Honda CR 125 Elsinore. Those motorized toys did seem to be a bit more fun !
I remember when i had a mini bike , thought i was real cool

When I was a kid (60's) my Dad raced karts. Built his own. It was direct drive and did a little over 60mph. The McCullough engine turned like 24,000 rpm. We still have it.
After he quit racing we would break it out and run it on the highway every summer. We could get about a half hour runtime before the cops would come looking for us.lol
I also had minibikes, trail bikes, and motocross bikes. Ride Red.
Been riding Honda 4x4 atvs the last 25 yrs.
That's awesome.
One of my favorite toys as a kid was my shootin shell Fanner 50 cap gun.
Grew up next door to the John Deere dealership. Had all the toys. Still have a 55+ yr old pedal tractor and cart. The smaller toys became hand me downs.
And... My first new bike was a 75 Elsie. Lol..worked all summer on my Paps farm to buy it. Picked a lot of stones and bailed lots of hay.
When I went to pick up the Elsinore, it was $980-, and i forgot about sales tax. Had to coax my Dad into lending me $60- so I could take it home that day.
Those bikes were State of the art!
