Hemigeno, hows the resto going?

You came to life in 75? I didn't come to life until 78 so I guess I totally missed out on those awsome shoes and hair do's.

Its funny but I can still picture Gene walking around with a backpack though.

Young punk! Get off my lawn!

I'm sure that comment was hurled in my direction more than once - but I was probably on a banana-seat buzz bike then (with the "Wide One" rear tire of course). 

If you'd have seen me walking around either Carlisle or the 'Nats you'd know what Danny was referring to - I still have a backback that I use to carry around reference material while I'm at the swap meets / shows.  No TopSiders though...

Hey where did the nostalgic conversation go to? Ah what am I talking about, I wasn't around then to put my  in anyways. Even though you all are older, I'm not sure who loved the wing cars first though. I can say that from day 1 I loved them as I came home from the hospital in a Daytona. Okay so maybe not from day one, but at the latest by 1979.

I wasn't aware of any of your ages though until this thread. And yeah I know I've heard plenty of "YOUNG PUNK, get off my lawn" comments in my life. Seems everywhere I've gone, I've always been the youngest in the group.

I did have a hand me down Schwinn that was identical to the one Gene mentioned. I can say though that by the time I was riding it, it was no longer the "in" bike. It was probably the cool bike to ride years earlier though, but in 1985 if you didn't have a BMX you weren't cool. And well I wasn't.
