I have been riding since I was 7 yrs. old. I started on a steel frame mini-bike with a briggs&stratton engine.  I believe it was 2.5 hsp.  I just remember my dad winding the rope around this cylinder thing sticking out and pulling... it would always start on the 3rd or 4th time.  Great memories with my dad.  I am 45 now will be 46 in early December. My grandfather, my dad, and I were all in the service. I served under President Ronal Reagan 1984-1987 during peace time.  I ride an Ultra-Classic Limted 2011 Edition
