Yea, kick starts, petcocks and running out of gas in an intersection, 3/4 helmets, combat boots, solidarity instead of waves, fixing a bike on the side of the road with bailing wire and twine, rejetting, flooded carbs, drum brakes, vetters with car radios and garbage bag plastic over the speakers so they didn't get wet, field jackets, laundry bag/duffle bag instead of hard lockable luggage, rope to tie things to the bike...

How about TV, childrens TV, Sid and Marty Croft? They let 70's druggies write childrens trip TV. HR Puffin Stuff, LidsVille, Sigmund and the Sea munster. Wow, those were the days

I though so too when I was a kid, funny how time clouds the memory. Now she looks like a child http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZcDXxytYNYHow about that chic Joy on the Bugaloos... Now she was hot...
After watching some of the other TV themes I use to watch, I now realize that time not only heals us from hurtful memories, it also heals us from awful tv we watched as children.
"For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing....What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?"
LOL, they even used to have "organized" big wheel races (my dad always entered me in them).
Did ya know, they STILL make the sit-n-spin? They are about 1/3 the weight of the ones I remember, and they now light up and play music (I bought one for my daughter).

I remember the races we would have to the bottom of the street, we had a steep street, so much so everyone would come to ride toys or snow sled down it in the winterThis was even more fun. KrazyKar, I liked this even more than the Big Wheel. Looking back I was quite spoiled.

That's not it Rich. The thing I had was just a wheel with a rubber tire about 6" diameter, can't quite remember exactly how it launched aside from the zip cord. I do remember it would fly clear across our cul-de-sac and ricochet off whatever was in the way (like neighbor's cars).There were the SSTs. I owned a detonator and smash up derby set. There was the screamin deamon motorcyles that used the same zip cord system, I owned one of those as well.
Relive your childhood and watch these SST ads.

Toys rocked back then. While kids now day spend hours on the game cube or PSP toys back then made you think and do something. Those were the days. (I cannot believe I am that old saying the same thing my father said)
My brother had a Dt175 and my first dirt bike was an IT250. My brother would not ride with me because he said I hurt him. I did not understand the concept of roosting another rider with wheel spin.. I didn't even know I was spinning the wheel.
