I rode pillion... on a pink bike

[BulletTrain]

... and with a chick driving! When I was looking for the pic I posted of my first motorcycle I found this in a scrapbook my Mother made for me before she passed away. Some funny stuff in there! Actually, I've laughed and cried looking through this book. God I miss my Mom!

Anyway, I have no idea who the chick is. It looks like a Florida camping trip photo. Maybe I picked her up in the campgrounds. The girls always loved me when I was little. And yes, that's me hangin' on for life! Is it just me or is she lookin' down like, "Hey, watch where you put your hands, buddy!". I do sort of have a grin and my facial expression looks like I'm about to get smacked!

Oh, and Rev... If you say what you are thinking I swear on all things holy that I will drive to Florida and get you.

Yep, I've always loved bein' on two... And yes, I remember the banana seats.... and those ape hanger bars. Man, bikes, both pedal and motor have changed!

 

[BulletTrain]

Those were the days weren't they!

Yeah, those were the days! I absolutely love going through the old pics and thinking about how things were back then. I'm glad someone posted the first bike thread. I hadn't had the photo albums out in a LONG time. It's been a blast going through them over the past couple days. Nothing like good memories and family.

Yeah I grew up in a Gremlin...Burnt Orange...Black Vinyl interior...Dad Built the inline six that was in it... Pretty funny...

Additionally, I grew up riding a Schwinn Stingray. Red, With metal flake in the red grips, and bannana seat. I had it until about 10 years ago, my dad sold it... Grrr.

Thats all I have to say about that.

Ok, who are you and what have you done with Rev? He never would have let me by this easy, posting a pic of myself like this.

Nope it is an AMC Gremlin!

Gremlin X package came with a 5L engine and a manual 3 speed! UGLY Sleeper!

Bullet, I enjoy taking shots as much as the next guy but sometimes a fish in a Barrel is just no fun... besides I believe you held back not to long ago, I'm returning the favour.

Oh, and MR D, When I was in High School a buddy of mine wedged a 409 into a Gremlin. Built a cage, tubbed the rear, solid beam type from end... On and on. Was the Spookiest damn car I had ridden in up to that point, freaky fast... Same guy also pulled a 440 out of a Chrysler and wedgied it under the hood of an old Blue Dodge Pickup truck. That we named Papa Smurf.

Wow, that takes me way back!!!!!

My first bike was a red Schwinn StingRay. A few of the rich kids had the Schwinn Crate bikes. The Apple Crate had the chopper type forks and tiny front wheel and I think it was a 5-Speed.

My first car in High School was a '73 Gremlin. Here's a before and after picture.
