I remember when.....

[Lincsong]

Really? Christmas 1977 was when I got my first brand new bike. An orange KMart thing with a banana seat. Oh yeah, I remember banana seats, and it was named Sky Hawk.

I got my first brand new bike in 1995. It's a Huffy and I still have it.

I got a banana seat and everyone else was getting BMX. I stuck out like a sore thumb. But then, I didn't take crap from the BMX punks either.

1977. That was the year that I bought my first real motorcycle. I was 22, I was in undergrad school and I bought a 1969 CB 450. I later sold it to a guy who rode it clear across the continent to California. I wish I still had that old bike.

Do you have any pictures?

 

[Atticus Finch]

I do. Of course, there was no digital in those days, so to post, I'll have to take a picture of a picture. Can't be sure how well it will turn out, but I can give it a try.

My dad always has had Harleys. When we lived in Milwaukee, my folks would bring the bikes into the dining room and decorate them for Christmas.

I remember when downtown North St. Paul was more than just bars and antique shops

That's Downtown Every Small Town in America.

How very Arlen Ness.

Does he have the goatee like Chumly from Tennessee Tuxedo?

A buddy of mine once lived in a house that he was renting for $25 a month (considering the state of the house, I always thought he was being over-charged). The den had a linoleum floor. He parked his bike in there. I remember one Sunday night when several of us were at his house playing poker on the kitchen table and he was in the den doing burn-outs on the linoleum. Ahhhh, those were the days!

Nice shop. He's not grey though.

Hmm sounds like you guys were the stunt doubles for Animal House.

My pop got asked if he was worried about dripping oil on the carpet and he said no. He should've been considering one of those bikes was a shovelhead!

We thought we were. You know, legends in our own minds.

Man! I've always wanted an AR-15! But my next purchase will be a Kel-tek PF-11. My Springfield Armory XDm 9mm is a bit large to carry concealed.
