The two in the center are pre-71 as they have the external fork springs. All three are 4HP as they have 12&quot; spoke rims with front brakes. And the last (closest) on either is a black widow, or has the exhaust from one...

The 2 middle Rupps had 3.5 HP motors and the wheels were smaller than the third one with the orange flames. The 3rd one had much more power but was a year or two earlier than the Black Widow model. The 2 middle ones were Scramblers and the third was an Enduro. Custom paint jobs done by the kid sitting on the Enduro (Donnie) who was a very talented 12 year old. His uncle owned a body shop so he had access to equipment. Thats me on the one with the lime green flames! The Honda has a rattle can enamel paint job, but we thought it was the coolest because it had gears and a clutch.
