It's about time someone posted a vintage video of Rupps! I had friends that rode them and I always liked their styling, but I never rode one. My uncle ran a Polaris shop in Ladysmith, WI so that's the route dad took us. Still like seeing those old Rupps though! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support! I love old Rupp's! My family also had a Rupp Roadster minibike back in the 70s. Video coming soon! Thanks again!
@@user-cc4vo6bd4p Yes, he did. I think he was a Polaris dealer from 1972 to 1982. He also did small engines and outboards until he retired a few years back. Chuck's Marine was the name.
My uncle had a ski doo with a cigarette lighter. As a youngster, i was completely fascinated with the idea. From there, i tried to talk my dad into putting a car radio in our sled. He didnt go for it, but i never forgot about that cigarette lighter
My dad started dealing Dart Karts while racing them in the early 60s and he moved right into snowmobile,mini bikes ,Go-Joes, Ruppsters etc late 60s until 78 when Rupp went out.. those were the good ole days, as a kid I “helped” uncrate them and got to test ride most of the sleds in central western NY… I would give my left nut for a Nitro 2 440!!!! I had a 25American that I put a TR440 Nitro racing engine on and tricked everyone with,never lost a race however when the throttle cable froze wide open and hit a tree at well over 70 the tree won 😁🤣… good times, would like to relive the 70s and 80s…
They were more convient because they were smaller and cheaper. And gave the rider more feedback. At slower speeds and on tight trails, they were a nicer experience. Not better than todays sleds, but definitely more appealing.
