Cheetah! And the Bike Bike with the stirrups directly behind the tail and the big cotterpin holding it on! This particular one was the root cause for the lay back style of driving! tmbz1

  Why would we give a shit about a race bike? We would be like putting tire shine on a Prius

I always thought having two shafts was better than one.  You know…..for safety.

Race bikes and wheels make a huge difference. Take your prius. I'll take the Cheetah. Seems like every bike  after the blackjack was based off of it. Donyoubthinkbguys would use the Cheetah if it were allowed?

Houghton and Jerald were popular when I was a pup. Then Wilform came along with the underslung wheels. I think Joe O'brien was involved with them. all of the previously mentioned bikes evolved over the years. I don't recall anyone mentioning the Tel-Star which I think was a well made sulky that can be considered closer to "old school" bikes and didn't encourage the ridiculous lean of today's drivers.

The Equalizer was ahead of its time, long ago.

The year cheeta was outlawed life sign won jug hitched to it.  Every horse in race was actually hitched to one
