My first bike was a Honda CB 450 with the ugly chrome and black tank but someone had swapped it to a brown 750 tank with the gold stripe. I bought my brothers Triumph 650 after about a year and a half. It was interesting swapping back and forth riding the two because the shifters and brakes were on opposite sides. There was a little bump at the edge of our driveway that would enable me to chirp the tire when pulling in. I had been riding the Triumph for awhile and when I did that with the Honda I jumped on the shifter instead of the brake to stop before the garage door, using a front brake only is not recommended. I kinda bent the door stop a bit when I hit it but luckily it didn't hit that hard. Had to look around to see if anyone saw me do that... :shock:

Also, according to Ruger, the Mini 14 is chambered for 5.56 and can shoot both the Remington .223 and 5.56 NATO rounds

so…folding stocks and 30 round mags are illegal in California. I definitely didn’t find either of those with the gun, then.

Definitely not

Yup. Same round that AR15’s shoot. The mini thirty shoots a .30 caliber 7.62X39, which is the same round the SKS/AK47 shoots.
Whereas the m14/M1a’s shoot the NATO .30 caliber which is 7.62X51 and is pretty much the same as a .308 round.

Oh and to continue todays history lesson by me, the grandfather of the mini14, and the father of the M14 is the M1 Garand, it shot the .30-06

I also seem to have found a 38 special, and a Beretta chambered in 25ACP, lol

My first time on a bike was around 1980 or so and it was a Yamaha YZ80. I whisky throttled it into a ditch lol and had to get my buddy to help me drag it out. Good times.
