I'm not intending to hijack the thread but just realized - I haven't seen a jack rabbit in years. What happened to them?
Still see them around here. That and road runners, which seem to have done well in last few years.
Got bred out.
Saw a mini bike at Attwoods the other day. Looked like one of the retro ones.
Mini bikes ruled. We had a honda 50 that by the time it got from my brother to my sister to me, had no brakes, and the handle bars had been welled many times. Good times. Yep same here, graduated to a 125 and roved the country side and my world got a bit bigger.
Oh yeah! Back in the day we had honda 50's which were the only thing legal for 14 yr olds to ride on the street. Some of neer do wells, got the Honda 90's, and some of the real rebels got the Super 90's.
We had a "gang" of 15 year olds that terrorized nobody, but we thought we were the baddest of the bad. I still wear scars of laying one down with some sand on the road.
I never owned a mini-bike like most of my friends,,,
Although I did have a go-kart.
There was that big track on the NW of OK City,,,
They shut down around 1961-62.
My Pop bought three of them for 20 bucks each,,,
We had just enough spare parts to keep one running nicely.
Like you all, my friends and I prowled the dirt roads of South OK City,,,
My kart had a bench seat so I could take a girlfriend along.
Dang but we were a bad @$$ gang of marauders.

Man knows no pain until you fall off in an deep rut on dirt rode on a mini bike doing 30+ Mph
My buddy growing up had one of those bikes. I had a Honda 50 I bought for $100 with my hustlin' money.
He could get ahead off the line but mine had a better top speed than his did.

That look like the one I had as a kid same color even. Mine was from Otasco. Road it all the time.
