I had to buy it...you can see why. ***BMX Content***

Fellow Rat Rodder and local guy, Tankalot had this bike for sale.

I know it's just a Huffy from the 80's but this bike kinda hit home. We were able to work out a deal that we were both happy with so last week I brought it home. I just plan to clean it up, touch up the paint chips and put it all back together. No upgrades, no mods, no fanfare. But I guess you should see why I had to have it...this is me, circa 1980 on my first new bike. I remember my brother and I both got new bikes from Child World that day. He got a Murray BMX bike.

So awesome!

I love the sturdy ramps we used to make as kids. A few scraps of wood, couple logs or bricks, nothing to secure it, no helmet or pads, Ah the good old days.

Awesome! Congratulations to both parties involved! Always good to find a childhood memory and bring it home!

Awesome to have your original bike ( clone anyways ).

My first bike was a BMX'd out Fairlady, then got my Team Murray , would love to find a Murray again, black n red... been kicking around the fairlady idea, too.

Congrats and enjoy !

That's so cool! I have no idea what BMX I had when I was that age. I was about 8 in 1980.

that's as good as it gets right there Dan. I know you've been looking for that bike for a while. I'm stoked you found one.

It's cool to have it, that's for sure. I now have my first and last Bmx bikes (well, recreations). Neither are high dollar pieces, but they bring back lots of fond memories.

And Crash, I was only 9 years old in that photo.
