Ohhhhhh MAN ! My very first bike was a triumph Tiger Cub ... almost like the one in this video. mine was set up for dirt riding with similar knobby tires but mine also had a headlight n tail light. I actually ran and jumped on mine to get itvstarted sometimes. I had the benefit of hill in my parents acred back yard which i used when jumping on it, going down of course.. to start it.
