Toyomafia - The Clubhouse. 151.880

The edges look good to me. Crispy with a soft middle, just like I like.

 

When the "Better half" goes for a business lunch with the Girls and she remembers you

Day just got better; on our afternoon walk with Riva' , this guy was making a ton of noise until he spotted someone with a camera had "Found

him"..

He did actually pose for this one.... all of the others were eyes closed or a quick turn of his head...

Nature & Country living..

Gotta love it..

 

Yep, not the same at all...

 

Ain’t that the truth

 

X2

 

X 3

 

X4

 

X5

Well, except maybe the lead paint.

 

X 6, except for the helmet...had a friend die falling off a bike, after that I always wore one, but it was a cool bmx one

 

Obviously no way to tell for sure but it's possible that my bike helmet saved my life when I was hit by a car.

 

Bike helmets weren't even a thing in the 1970s that I can remember.
We'd get on our bikes at 9 AM and not come home until it got dark..

Not my pics but you get the idea..

 

Did yall age that much in less than 12 hours?!?

 

Yes, it was the 70s..

 

The kid in the top photo on the far left by the white car is on a bike like one I had in the early 70s except mine was a single speed. I wanted the 3-speed version but couldn't afford it.

 

Yes, I had a single-speed purple Spyder bike.
We were all jealous of the 3 speed guys..
Again, not my pics.




Then in 76, I got a Sears Free Spirit 10-speed for my 14th birthday.
Funny I took off those wheel reflectors off when I got it.
I'm still debadging my vehicles today.

 

That's a coincidence on the years because it was in '76 that I finally got a 10 speed bike similar to the one you just posted. IIRC, my grandparents gave it to me for my 12th birthday. I rode that bike until I started driving. I don't remember what I did with it after I entered the Navy. Maybe my little brother got it?

 

I rode Bmx,so I had helmets, never thought to ride around the neighborhood with it on. Nate was riding with a backpack, strap got caught in the chain and pulled him backwards off his bike. Spent a year in a coma before he passed.

now I fight with my kids about it

 

BMX, x-country and downhill mtn bike for me. I simply don't get on a bike without a helmet.

 

I remember the Free Spirit 10 speeds! Never had one, but one year for Christmas my grandparents gave me a Schwinn 10 speed they bought used, in perfect condition. I rode the hell out of that thing. Was either that or a Tony Alva skateboard. Yes, I grew up when Alva, Peralta, and the gang were on the magazine covers. Wish I had kept them.

 

Wow
That’s nuts

 

@1lowlife ever get your bumpershellz installed?

also to the rest of the cru, hope life is well with everyone.

 

Gonna try to get it done tomorrow, it is going to be 82°..

On a side note to you, Carol Tomé came to our hub on Valentine's Day.
They are trying to figure out how to retrofit our 38-year-old hub and make it automated.
Her solution?
Tear it down and rebuild it..

They need to keep this hub because it backs up to a Union Pacific railyard that we move A LOT of loads on..



When they rebid the jobs next month, I'll have to drive to a different hub an hour away (instead of 20 minutes) for 3 years while they tear it down and rebuild it.
I may just go ahead and retire if I can't find a run that I want.
I'm planning to retire in 4 years anyway...

 

“unlike”


Well, except the part of getting the shellz installed.

 

Schwinn blue sparkle frame with white banana seat and the tall handle bars was mine in 1970...

 

That sucks.... good for the company making the investment BUT to turn a "Drivers board" sideways stinks...

Then again, in todays culture.. we can be replaced; Why I retired early...

You do the "Work & rehab" and your truck is still given to someone else ....

Momma is worried I'm "Getting the itch to drive again" and the only

way it is going to happen will be if I can work for an Old Irish Prick

 

Last week of work before surgery. Whole lot of nothing getting done

 

64 Sky Blue tall handle Stingray here. Wish I still had it.

 

Success....

The only chrome left is the fake bolts on the pocket flares..
EDIT: and the tail pipe..

 

looks awesome! Black chrome Toyota tailpipe tip too!

glad I could inspire you.
