[stonedimaculate1983]

[chatrkat]

@stonedimaculate1983 I dunno, GPS is in the truck. ...Google maps enter 47371 and your zip code. I had a red Honda Z 50 back in the '70s wish I never sold it

[gqmighty]

[KartRacer695]

[chatrkat]

[stingrayfff]

anything like this in new england? i live 8 hr away from this one.

[chatrkat]

not really. nothing near me either, it's over 9 hrs drive from my home. another guy comes 11 hrs dragging a 32' trailer behind.

[stingrayfff]

I might think about making the trip then. I have 2 minibikes.

[chatrkat]

by all means come on out! you'll have a good time, guaranteed.

[stingrayfff]

cant make it this year its planed on the weekend after most schools near of me graduate i have a party to go to and coolden't even get the whole day off becouse 3 other people have partys to go to.

[chatrkat]

@stingrayfff sorry you couldn't come out. the entire event went great this year! new videos coming shortly.

[BushiYousei]

That was so much fun when I was there! It's a bummer the weather was bad for this year though.

[chatrkat]

yeah I agree but we made the best of it.

[Art397R]

Lol, the guy in the yellow gocart at 3.36 goes to the local car shows near me. Man I really can't wait for the 2010 reunion, it looks like a blast. Cheers

[chatrkat]

Windber PA is a blast! Come on out and say hi!

[Kacasovoi]

I have 4 mini bikes myself, I'm 47 yrs. old love them, around 58 sec. into video there's a white and blue fox campus bike , is there any way I can contact that person?

[larkija]

I wanna go to this sometime. I've never seen so many different minibikes in one place!

[motorsportkid27]

hey how far is windber from philly

[chatrkat]

google maps says 275 miles / 5 hrs

[johnbambammorgan]

Hey Buddy, Please tell me exactly what that red, white and blue bike is in the beginning of this video? A woman is on it.

Thanks, Bam

[chatrkat]

ahhh? not sure, but I'll find out.

[KartRacer695]

hey, that is a honda cub. they dont come to canada anymore.

[johnbambammorgan]

A honda cube? I looked that up on google, it shows a four wheeled auto. I'm talking about the bike some woman is standing over. Look in the beginning at 8 seconds into the start of this video.

[KartRacer695]

no, i didnt spell it wrong its really spelled cub search cub on google.

[johnbambammorgan]

Got it, found it. Your right but I thought it was newer. The photo I see says 1991 Honda Cub.

Interesting looking thing. Ok much thanks for the info. Do you know if they were made well?

Dependable? I've never trusted any Honda's.

[KartRacer695]

Honda is the number one bike brand, im not just saying that because i like honda. they last for ever. i have some honda motors, a dirt bike and a three wheeler and on my go-kart, they all work very very well and start even in cold tempatures

[johnbambammorgan]

Ok, I've had super great luck with all my Yamaha's, but my brother and many friends with all their Honda's nothing but trouble. i also never liked the ride of their road bikes. I never road their dirt bikes and such. Glad you've had great luck.

Either way, riding all kinds of bikes are a blast, sure makes summer a pleasure. Hope i can attend this mini bike event some day. I've owned many Rupps in my past. Loved them dearly. I miss my Rupp L-100 the most.

[KartRacer695]

what kinda of hondas where they? the automatic quads have oil pressure problems alot. I like mini bikes to and wanna build one, one day, i got 5 hp briggs already.

[johnbambammorgan]

Back in the day i use to ride mini bikes with a buddy. I had the Hustler he had some bike with a 5 hp briggs. His would always beat mine, but one day i discovered the Governor. Son one day we rode on the street to our riding sand pits and a cop shows up behind us and turns lights and siren on, My buddy takes off and leaves me behind, i yell at him to slow down, he slows down, and I put my foot on the governor and pass him up, we both are wide open cop chasing us, we never let up..part 2 next.

[johnbambammorgan]

We were wide open and passed through 2 road barricades and over the edge of a 200 foot 45 degree hill. Bike bikes were both airborne. That cop knew who i was and told my folks he thought we were going to die from the way in which we drove those bikes. LOL We got away and rode for the rest of the day.

For 5 years we had a 4 mile stretch of construction freeway system to ride on with any trails and jumps on either side of this stretch. It was a great time to own mini bikes for us.

[kagtlls5]

Where is Windber and when is the next reunion?

[chatrkat]

location is listed on previous reply.  event held over father's day weekend in June.

[fourwheeleratv123]

sounds like a lot of fun i will try to bring my minibikes down there sometimes and thanks for awnsering my questions

[chatrkat]

you're welcome. we'll all be there this year again.

[fourwheeleratv123]

do the minibikes have to be old?

[chatrkat]

nope! half the fun is seeing the wide variety of minibikes.

[fourwheeleratv123]

is there a set speed for the parade?

[chatrkat]

slow thru town, but we do get to open the throttles on the back roads.  it's a total blast for everyone. no high powered or noisy dirt bikes allowed.

[cmen92]

o wow a video from Windber PA haha lets see if i know any of these ppl

[Art397R]

Man, that looks like alot of fun. Seeing all those Rupps just makes me miss mine. Cool vid

[chatrkat]

thanks for watching. everybody that rides in the parade says the the same thing ...it's the best time they ever had riding a minibike!

[OaklandVideo]
