He called it the "New Monster" in my garage...
I did recently move it from my dads place to mine, but its certainly not new...
My Grandpa bough two of these new for his daughters. My mom and her sisters have cool memories on the little property they grew up on in Bend Oregon. Eventually though they lost interest and all but discarded them outside. When a teenager version of my dad started hanging around their house, he wasn't looking for a mini bike.
Still, right at the edge of the pond on the property sat this 1969 Honda 50 MiniTrail. The other of the two bikes was seen fully submerged, and was deemed not worth saving.
He was given permission to take the bike home and stored it various places until my Brother and I were born.
Only minor fixes were required to give my brother and I a million amazing memories. The bike has been sent all over Oregon, and Idaho as our family has grown to give the new batch of kids a go on "The Minibike".
A recent trip to Oregon for Easter ended with this awesome family heirloom sitting in my garage in SoCal. My little girls have a couple years before they will fit it, but my brothers oldest girl will get her shot any day!
Here's a couple pics of the "new family ride" safe at home!
