The black ones are super rare. My brother had one with the dual shifter 5 speed and the tall sissy bar. The dummy sold it at a yard sale years later for $10.

Maybe at the next reunion everyone can bring their original bikes and we can have a real 1/4 mile race - complete with jumps and wheelies.

[b] Better have one of these on hand - some of us aren't as agile as we once were!!

Steve I had one of those Choppers with the two shift levers, I believe the little one was an emergency brake on the 5 speed. weird?

Those bikes were really unbalanced for wheelies as evidenced by the scar on my elbow! and they nose dived on any jumps over three feet!

I could never manage a wheelie on that bike either. And yes I have the same scars!

We can go on my paper route and then run my slot cars! I'll ask my mom if you can stay for dinner. I think we're having tuna casserole.
