    They are for a child. I bought them for my daughter when she was 9, she was 52 inches tall, 70lbs, 27.5" chest, 27" waist, 24" inseam, they were a bit large at first, on purpose so they fit her for a couple of years.

    So far I have been lucky in Ohio, no snow and salted roads yet. I had the bike out twice today. One ride was to do errands and stuff. Still nice to get out on it though. It was very pretty out this morning with the fog and frost.

    Of course I have to put a pic with the wood piles in the background.

    I had an 06 Ural Gear up, the 2nd one painted forest camo, rode that thing all over the Jersey pine Barrens and many times in the snow. Funnest, and biggest piece of chit I ever owned.

    Also flimsy forks and frames. They were like riding a bucking bronco.

    Fun though.:

    Probably the worst sounding bike there ever was? Scary.
    Brother had a water buffalo that sounded much better and was a blast to drive!

    I sold it awhile back, that thing was a real pig off road, too heavy. All I could think about when I rode it off road was how much is this thing going to cost me if I dropped it.:hair:

    Well, here's my Itty Bitty! That's because whenever it's next to a Road King, Electra Glide, and most other Harley's it looks so tiny. Even Sportster s ride higher! Then with the wind screen being so high on mine, you can barely see my eyes over the top. But it's the way I like it. It's a 96 cubic incher in need of a bath.

    My 2005 Yamaha V-Star Silverado is in the foreground. The Harley and Ducati belong to some close friends. My bike was new to me in 2009 after being off a bike for nearly 20 years due to following wishes of the starter wife. Inside of a month of learning about her craziness, I attended a MSF course and had my new license, kicked her out and put this in her garage stall, in that order. Could not be happier. The new wife knows what's up, not that she loves the idea. It has sat in her garage stall for the past several months while undergoing a 10 year service. My avitar is the front caliper during rebuild.

    Nice bike jtaves. I had to do a double take as it looks much as my first cruiser did - a Suzuki C50. Barring the light hoods, tank bib, studs and tank badge anyway.

    Looks to be an early 1950's Cushman step scooter. Pretty cool bike to say the least.
