Quote HistoryQuoted: Wrong. BB guns were the greatest childhood toy of all time. Have to go with this. Balsa wood rubber band airplanes were fun though. But not as fun as the Flying Aces foam airplanes that were launched by the rubber band slingshot thingies. |

Quote HistoryI still have an XR80 set up on a scaffold at my shop. I took my CRF450r to Moab a few years ago. There was a guy older than me riding a modded vintage steel tank XR80 on the slickrock and I had to build one. I bought three parts bikes to have everything I needed. People rode the hell out of those old Hondas. I know that's an Xr50 in your pics, but most can't tell the difference. |

Keep it locked up in a north lake boot box, I have noticed some dents and sharp blade cuts in the box. May have to move it to the gun safe, I will have to remove the ammo so if that little fucker escapes from box doesn't load up one of my hand guns and preforms revenge due for the last 55 years
