While reading the '56 Coronet Lancer thread I spotted my old minibike!

Your 56 Lancer title grabbed me… I didn’t ride mini bikes or dirt bikes, I liked 4 wheels… My son, on the other hand, likes dirt bikes and started asking for one when he was 3. I told him when he started riding his bicycle without training wheels that we’d get him one. We took them off and put them back on so much that he figured out how to remove them him self. Then he started exploring the wrench… He started riding his bicycle when he was 4 so when he turned 5, we made good on our deal. Bought a cheap used china bike for $75… I’ve rebuilt everything but the engine twice but he loves it, loves riding it, and loves messing with it! We started in the front yard with cones and now we’re in the pasture on a little track we mowed down. Good times for sure…
