Rob Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I didn't even think about it today. It was actually a very good day for me getting a lot accomplished, and a relaxing motorcycle ride in to boot.

Freightrain Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Friend has 03 Duece blue jean blue in color. He is collecting sheet metal so he can paint it his way but not mess up the factory stripes that you can't buy. My Softail custom was black...now it is Hyundai Blue. I wanted it a crazy blue pearl but this whole paint job cost me $30!! Couldn't say no. Edited April 14, 2018 by Freightrain 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Rob Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'm still riding the black Royal Star I loaded at your place. Been a really good bike and have done nothing to it. Thinking about replacing it with an Indian Roadmaster this, or next year. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Popular Post other dog Posted April 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2018 I thought about going for a ride- briefly- but both tires are flat on the Huffy. 2 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Rob Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I still have my old "Western Flyer" in the basement, but I'll bet it's tires are flat on the bottom side too. Pretty certain I'm too damned lazy anymore to pedal that thing anyways..... 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Vladislav Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I took my Honda out for a ride today. A really good weather and not too cool if you dress warm. First time in this year.

I remember about 1974, a girl in my 5th grade class got a new Raleigh...it had a 5 speed with the shifter on the top tube, small front wheel, banana seat with sissy bar. All of us boys were jealous--that was the coolest bike we'd ever seen.

j hancock Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Right, the Raleigh Chopper and the Ross Apollo were similar hot rod "krate" bikes. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Truck Shop Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I had one of these with 2sp kick back in the mid 60's it was a tough bicycle. Then twenty four motorcycles through my life, several junkers and several nice ones. A pic of one fast and one fairly fast 05 barge I owned. Had three wings truthfully the 95 1500 I had was the best one.

Dang Jim....you'd be the MAN!!! My sister got a brand new Pixy Stik in 1972 from the local bike shop. She barely rode it, kept it a long time but it's long gone now. Friend growing up had an Apple crate and it was the COOLEST thing ever(back then). Now they get stupid money for them. I wouldn't get picky if I found one priced right, but the sad part is you can't leave it ANYWHERE as it would be gone instantly. Like if I took it to a truck show or the race track. Fellow I know has a new Chinese version so it is no loss if it comes up missing. Paid like $30 at Walmart for it. Single speed version, but has little front tire and springer front end.

The cool bike I remember most was the Schwinn "Stingray" with that banana seat and really tall 5 speed shifter that got everybody in the balls at one time or another.....
