Re: My Facetruck thread.
Me either, but I remember when Stingray bikes came out. One guy I knew pulled his bike into a wheelie and rode it home like that. He was at least 1/2 mile from school.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I remember those wheelie bars. I remember thinking they were for sissies and cheaters who couldn't ride a wheelie :metal:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I built a wheelie bar back in the day. I didn’t like it, made it too easy- not fun

I like the kid standing on the seat in bare feet- enough to drive the safety nazis crazy

I just remember flipping the handlebars up on my Schwinn Varsity 10 speed to ride wheelies on it. That was common at the time. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
And before the wheelie days it was sticking that Bobby Orr hockey card in the spokes with the clothes pin.

If I had the hockey cards today with some of the top players back then that went into the spokes I would make some decent $$$$ on them. |

I got this one in the shed. It's similar to the one I had when I was delivering newspapers. It has a slick on the back.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Wow! I forgot about the V-rooom thing. I got one of those for my birthday and immediately removed the close pins and baseball cards from my spokes.

I made my owner Sting Ray/chopper bike out of a '40s-'50s 20 incher someone gave us. I never should have changed it but I wanted a cool chopper, and it needed parts. I gave it a gold base with candy apple green metal flake lacquer job. I went through a few banana seats but ended up with a Schwinn white metal flake. It was like one of these, black & white
Attachment 2114177 Attachment 2114178 I was a little older when I got my first shiny new bike. It was a Sears with 24" wheels. It was purple and the tires were redwalls. It was a stick shift 5spd with dual rear brakes (no front). Cool bike! I switched to a Schwinn seat on that, too. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
My first shiny bike was a Murray Eliminator. It was next to the Christmas tree when I woke up xmas morning. I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought it was for one of my brothers. I couldn't believe it when I found out it was mine.
I rode that bike into the ground and finally cracked the frame. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...Eliminator.jpg |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Baddass bike! I remember those and all the muscle bikes. We sure had cool bikes offered back then.
Gotta be cool like Evil, right? |

30 second Evel Knievel commercial- he includes his “safety tips”- hilarious! He’s the reason the kid in the above pic is launching himself through the air

We were jumping fools back in those days. No helmets. Nothing like that. But I did get a couple of nut crushers. |
