Thanks, the grandkid really flies on this out on the track.
I even had a coment from a father out at the track saying, "you really shouldn't race that thing, it's too nice looking for being oldschool"!
So this was ran for a couple of motos and one main only, so far.
Could have an early retirement, cause I have another newer goose('99-'00 supergoose) to replace this one in the works.

Back in 90 Ron bought 15 of these that the rightway distributor had new in boxes. I believe he paid 75$ a piece. I assembled every one of them. We sold them all in about three weeks. I say that thing needs to be raced! Seeing this bike brings back some good memories.
BMX MUSEUM is not a contest to see who has more bmx knowledge. It's a place to share it.

Yes we, I should say my grandkid does race the caligoose mini on occasions now. He likes to ride and race a few other gooses now.
But still have this one in my collection!
