Easton Rich 622 #1 Posted May 18 This all started when I got my B-80 in September she wanted one too. Yesterday I bought this little Raider 10 from @bowtieguy and she’s been stoked to paint it deep cherry red with a clear coat. Let’s see where this adventure takes us!! 6 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 66,839 #2 Posted May 19 I don’t know how old your little sis is, but that’s awesome nonetheless! This is a mainly male hobby, and it makes me grin every time my girls hop on for a ride! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easton Rich 622 #5 Posted May 22 Yes I 100% agree. It’s very sad how girls now days wanna make TikTok videos and wouldn’t dare go outside, but there are still some out there willing to learn and work on and drive old iron. I consider myself lucky to have got a sister like that! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easton Rich 622 #6 Posted June 6 Back on the Raider! I bought a cheapo carb off scamazon, and guess what? It doesn’t fit! Almost like I knew it wasn’t gonna work but I still bought it! This is a question for all you Techy nerds. I’ve seen people do the k181 carb swap on these, does it work? Does it start reliably? Just pondering. If I can get er’ going I’ve got a show tomorrow it’ll go to. Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easton Rich 622 #7 Posted June 7 Never mind, it works! I bolted that sucker up and she fired right up after 6yrs! Now I’ve got to finish up the throttle system and put a temporary redneck stack on it and call it good till tear down this winter!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Case in point, a few years ago Kevin bought this 953 from me and about two seconds after I unloaded it his daughter Rylee was driving it away, she was about 9 at the time. There is no reason girls can't have fun too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Momma’s job keeps her attendance up in the air until last minute, Rylee’s sports camps may or may not interfere, Jada has a little less interest than before, but is also busy with many odd jobs and summer time means lots of babysitting and nanny opportunities. This year, I’ll have Rylee and her boy Brenen, and possibly Mrs. P. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easton Rich 622 #13 Posted July 1 Well, with a little horse trading and cash, I ended up with this fine machine. Of course once it lost compression and can smoke out a neighborhood. Nonetheless I’m excited she’s into the hobby. She’s getting her C-145 auto tomorrow, and she is super excited which makes my heart happy! But this isn’t the end off the road for this little Raider! I’ll be painting it and finishing it for a show cruiser. Btw thanks @bowtieguy for helping make this happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
