I had a Rupp minibike, it was like a motorcycle to me in 1968. RIP Mr. Rupp.

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.
