Britax Kari bike

When i was about 11 years old i remember razzing one of these round the brickyard quarry where my dad worked all summer

can't remember anything about it other than mine had a silver tank and you had to kickstart it on the centre-stand then drop it off that with the wheel spinning, and they folded up to fit in the boot of a car

I think they're a 50cc 2stroke but even though i've looked around the web, i've never found any information more than a couple of photos, and i've not seen one on ebay ever.. if anyone knows about them i'd love to fill in my mental blanks?

I'm pretty sure that mine was broke, hence dropping it off the kickstand to get going, It was either a twist'n'go automatic that didn't slip properly, or it had gears but the clutch cable was dead

Anyway, after many years of not knowing, I have been reliably informed this week that my first bike was a suzuki gsx250 (I always get those letters mixed up). I think it was blue. Back in 1984.

What the lad who advised me of this remembers (as he advised me to buy it at the time) is of me trying to ride it and having it "get away" from me.

I don't recall that (!!)
