Ok but did you ever extend your forks out to dangerous levels to make a chopper!!

[USG '60]

I had outgrown bicycles before I ever heard of or saw a chopper. I m REAL old.

I did. Cut the front forks off another bike and slide them onto yours. Butterfly handle bars, banana seat and a large "sissy bar" .

Captain America for sure.....

[CarltonsKeeper]

I wonder what Gen/64 did to hop up his stick horse "Trigger" We know he used a leather belt for a bridle and a mop head for the mane!! Maybe he left it just like that and used it to round up those "Sheep" that he was always so fond of!!! Hmmmmmmm!! He may have went ahead and put a high goose neck on it with a set of Dallas handle bars, but a Pearson seat, I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do any of you remember the Popular Mechanics issue that showed us how to
create a low rider? I believe it's in the August 1968 issue.

A real cool bike!

DESCRIBE your First REAL car....Mine was a 1951 four door chevy that had ACME Cleaners on the side....Gave $65.00 for it had it three weeks before the Village Idiot and I blew a rod in it....Radio still worked though...

[Generals64]

TERIOKC....Where are you????? Are you still O.K.???? Still commuting to Dallas on Saturdays to get your braces tightened?.....This Thread (that you started) has even gotten East Coast Okies to move back to the area just so they can meet this "rowdy" bunch......We still miss you and wonder if you aren't teasing us about being an Okie....GEN/64....But, we still LOVE you....

Mine was a four door '51 Studebaker. I gave it "class" by removing all the chrome and spraypainting black primer around the areas so it would look like it was in the process of being "customized." I swiped one of the little masonite Out of Order signs off of a washing machine in a laundramat to hang where the grill had been. In our Class Will, I left the honor of having the sharpest car at Grant to Dickie Filler (class of '61) who had about a 1950 Willis.

I remember The old Willys....thought that had to be the ugliest car I had ever seen...I was in the eighth grade when you graduated...didn't you park the old Stude' by the Gym????

Usually. I considered it close to the cafeteria though.

[Generals64]

You know, when you are in the 8th Grade and you see all of those "OLD" Guys and their cars you just are amazed. I know Bobby Atherton had the best looking purple '50 model (I think) lowered Chevy in the world. My Sister (1 year younger than you) had a '54 Ford Convertible her Junior year......I was mesmerized by the cars the guys and gals had.....But then, I was an 8th Grader....and I remember the old Studebaker,,,,,

[USG '60]

Mine never got any cool pin stripes like the REALLY cool cars. Bobby's was minimal and tasteful. JUST the right amount. The front of his frame was an inch off the ground. Sparks flew and some dips he simply HAD to avoid. Dips in the road, silly, not THAT kind of dips.

[Generals64]

My mother was the manager at Potter's when you guys were "Cruisin" back in your days....Bobby ran off the Curb one night and got High-Center....My Mom told me about it and I almost sick thinking she meant he had totaled that car out.....Next day at school there she sat.....(the Car did)

[jellen]

I thought the Southeast crowd hung out at 'The Spot' on Western?

Spartans was we Spartans hangout. The (Hamburger) Spot was CHHS's hangout.

[jellen]

Whoops, haven't done this in a long time and that answer went in the wrong place.

[Generals64]

Where have you been Girl????We've missed your smiling face around here....

[grantgeneral78]

A 1969 Ford fastback Torino Red on Red with the cool white stripe, the big ole 390 was fast as lightning! But of course I had left off my bike not soon before I got the car....and shhhh was driving around the city at 15.
