My son and I actually witnessed your Hurricane and and another friend of yours on a Kawasaki With a big paddle tire on the back shooting up 9mile hill about 10 years ago. My son had an old beater 84 250r out there then. He still has it but it's no longer a beater. The sound of that Hurricane blasting up the hill was mind boggling!
Here is a pic of my sons 250R now. It was totally rebuilt and now has a drag ported 300R kit with lots of other go fast goodies on it.

"Can't", never could do nothing
There's nothing like the sound of screaming 2strokes and the smell of race gas in the air
Thanks daddio, small world aint it? The kawasaki fat cat was my brothers, he's now building a gsxr 1000 fat cat. Keep your kids on trikes and bikes you can't go wrong.
You're welcome! You're right about that. It is a very small world. I put my son on a powerwheels 3 wheeler when he was 2 years old. Next came a 70 and the rest is history.
His 300R won the modified class at trikefest 09. It also won the best modified trike award that year. We couldn't make it last year do to lack of money. We're going back this year though. I'm building an oldschool Bandito 90 and with a little luck it will be there with me.
