Re: My earliest ride
Found this old one..we made the paper sunday i think it was 1976 but I had to crop the other dudes out of it..thing would not resize for nothing..old school bike..from the famous "V" Jump..it was in a really steep raveen like 100 yards straight down..then up the other side about half way to a jump about 3 ft high the speed would carry you about 6 ft off the ground for like 30 plus feet then you would touch down on the crown of the hill on the other side..major rush!! no need to peddle just push off like the long distance ski jumpers..only a few dared peddle down the hill certain death was claimed if you did,lol.

Re: My earliest ride
I know cracks me up!..note I have the goosedown vest on with the hooded sweatshirt, Roger Decoster leather gloves with the goofy strip of foam sewn on the backside of the fingers...aaah the good old days I could go for spending a few days back then again. hanging on the corner munching a redrope and daring one of the guys to do something really insane...I mean stupid.

Re: My earliest ride
Seems like I remember stealing the foam insulator off off the house A/C of the neighborhood houses for pading on the bars and frame. Then taking the biggest bell bottom jeans you could find and sew in some more material to make them completely cover your feet. Of couse the chain gaurd was taking off first so you could get your big bell bottoms stuck in the sproket.

Re: My earliest ride
Skyway...I think Skyway was the name of the plastic mag rims.
I had them on my first bike...a DG, I then moved up to a Redline with Stu Thompson handle bars  ...I thought I'd never sell that bike! (that all changed at 16 when I wanted new carpet and the driver seat repaired on my 72 Monte)...I sold it to a kid and his dad for $120 I think.Still have the Monte though...don't think I'll ever sell it.

Wow, I used to live in Richmond, CA back in '66-'68 also. Up off of Hilltop Drive. Went to Fairmede school. Now you need an Uzi to drive up my old old street but back then it was OK. I'll have to look for old pics of my bikes and while I'm at it, pics from the CC Nats (late '70s - early '80s). -Jon 1967 Z28 original survivor 1967 Z28 Trans-Am race car 1967 Z28 Registry
