Also Rupp mini bikes were the real 'affordable' hot-rods. They were the next step above a Taco with bigger engines and suspension. More motorcycle-like than lawnmower. Plus they had a good side business selling performance parts for the Briggs or Tecumseh engines. Stuff like cams, shaved cylinder heads, bigger valves, carburetors, chrome exhaust, clutches and CV belt drive conversions. I had their catalog at age 11. It was the Summit racing catalog......... for kids
I think at the time there was an actual mini bike magazine
