This seemed like the right place to post this picture. This is a 1959 picture of Art Ingles towing his go kart.

Tom- great Steens post! When we left for USAF tech school, all magazines were confiscated. I saved six or seven of the most important pages from my Steens catalog, carefully folded and safe in my pocket.
Dig the third port AH58 on the Taco 55 in "Models."How rare is that?
How on Earth did those two strokes stay in place on the early frames, or for that matter, the front fork?

Jeff, you didn't need foot pegs. With the tremendous thrust from that screaming 580, your feet flew out behind the bike! :D TJ

If you check out flexo's ad for these minis it showed the rider holding the handlebars and his body streaming behind like a flag :)
