Hi James I got too the lake in Dec 58 but don't remember my co. no.
James, I was stationed at Long Beach N.S. and Worked at Sima NRMF out on the Mole.
Got out in '89 and just a short time later they closed the base and then Clinton sold it to the Chicom. Sad indeed. One large Container Base for them to use now.
That's OK.I entered "Mini Bikes" on my server and found a whole bunch of stuff about them including kits and engines etc. Not all that expensive, either.
