Mr70 will remember this picture of my Buddy's 1969 Rupp TT500 Minibike which I purchased from him a year later. Hi Tech / Cutting edge 2 speed jack shaft transmission. Bill

I saw Rupp mini-bikes around, but by '68, I had my license and a new Honda 350. I lived less than 2 miles from North Star Speedway and was drag racing the Honda on Tuesday nights, under the lights.

Still have a Rupp Hustler in my garage. The whole Torque Converter set up was quite the item back in the day

----Pretty much every kid in northern Ohio knew about Mickey and all his different vehicles. My friend in Medina (Jerry Ferrell, RIP) had a Rupp dealership along with a lot other off road stuff. His three wheelers were everywhere for years and are probably still in use today! RIP, Mickey!....Bill S
