We Frankensteined minibikes together. Run and jump on to start. Shorting out the spark plug could curl your hair.
Cops would chase us until we hit the alley, backyards or cut across the field. Then we would taunt them into chasing us again. Most of them were pretty cool and would stop and talk with us.
Ditto on all that. Talked my way out of the back of the police car more than once back then.

I ran into a guy who I last saw when we were about 14 or 15 years old. We knew each other from a campground in the Poconos where our families would sometimes end up at the same time.
When we recognized each other we both said at the same time "man, do you remember hunting frogs in the mud bog?" lol
Kids today wouldn't understand and they'd no doubt be afraid of catching the plague or something.
All the adults would tell us that we'd get warts.

We were told frogs were ok, but don't touch the toads.
We had an old toad lived out under our back steps for years and years. Amazing how big that thing got. Looked like Jabba the Hutt.
