Were you ever a kid?

Two were uncles and several others were like uncles as I grew up with them at the shop and house on Saturdays and Sundays.
 
Lucky boy!
My parents forbid me to have a bike. Got my 1st when I moved out at 17. Haven't been without ever since.

Gotta LOVE that ATTITUDE !!!

I remember 1963. It was a good year. I was a senior in high school riding my 1956 AJS 600cc Typhoon scrambler. Headlights and signals were not requirements back then; but, brake lights were. There was no generator on the bike so I would knock off a flashing construction road sign and steal the large 6 volt battery to run my brake lights.

Not many up here in WA wore rebel hats. Its interesting how many riders start out on trikes and eventually return to trikes.
