I posted these in "Bike Talk", but I put them up here too.
First up, here is a picture of my mom as a little one. Not sure what kind of bike it is. Maybe a Schwinn?
Next up, is my favorite old photo I have. This one is of my dad and his little brother (R.I.P. Uncle Donald). Cicra 1958 or thereabout. Notice my dad has a good old Rat Rodded Elgin Twin 20! Someday, I will get one of those and restore it for him. The best part is, on the back of the picture, it says 1958 -Bicycle Ramp - Dave the Genious". Those frames look weak, but I'm sure they put it to the test!
Several years later, we have a photo of my dad and my big sister, long before I was around. This one is dated 1967.
And last, here is one of me. I'm the one on the back of the Stingray. Driving the bike is an old childhood friend. I'm pretty sure the bike was mine, but I can't recall for certain. Notice the incredible boat in the backround! That is a 50's Glasstron that I would kill for today. It has all the style of a '57 Caddy in boat format! It was a running boat long before I was born. Sometime over the years my sister and her husband decided to restore it. Of course they never finished it so the boat went to the side of the road with a free sign on it. I remember the 35 hp Johnson outboard sitting in the basement for years. The thing was just HUGE. That eventually went away too. I saw a boat like that several years ago all restored and wondered.
