On
the Edge
This is my oldest
nephew Erik, seen in other taking his first laps around
the ATV track at Kil-Kare race track in Xenia, Ohio
around the fall of 1983. I bought him this Suzuki
so he could go riding with me and race if he wanted
to. The problem was the Suzuki had to race against
Honda ATC 90s and they were much faster than the little
50 was designed for and he didn't have a chance.
I
don't remember how the rear fender got busted but
it was probably me that did it. We used to gather
all of the adults after our race, climb on these
little three wheelers and race around the track
until we were forced to leave by impatient mothers
wanting to get home. We only had the Suzuki for
about a year because it was poorly made and Yamaha
released their Tri-Zinger 60 with front suspension
and more power for faster lap times.
