jonny...thanx man, awesome site. I will go back there and browse around. Do you remember the bikes that Arlen Ness built? Some damn nice scoots.

kim... knuckles are far righteous babe! My first ride, I think I was 6, on the back of my step dads old flat head Harley. Talk about vibration! ::)

Always wanted a Studebaker Avanti. Learned to drive in a '52 Champion wagon. :-/

I still have Pogo books. I loved Walt Kelly's stuff. I did Calvin and Hobbes too. Mary says I'm Calvin all grown up. I asked her when I had grown up. I thought old Peter Pan had a pretty good idea when I first saw that as a kid and I've stuck to it! ;D

thanx guys (and gals)
Michael

Pops had not one but FIVE studebakers!!! Irish black Joe...LOL! As fer the knuckles, i surely miss that rat. So many memories - rolling hills and country roads and my mind open, taking in the wind like music. Miss it. Still feel that kick shift...LOL.

Pain free days and nights! Long live Studebakers, Pogo, and thank gawd no mo duck n cuuuuva! ;D

Oh...........looking backnow, I see pops (clarke gable) and see Mom ( lauren bacall)..........my fingers reach out to the smiles, but they fade in the twighlight...........a faded glossy of times out of pages too crisp to fully recall.....yet they were there. I was not, but they were. The confidence - and the innocence --jolts me to present, and I find a longing for that bright white chested bloak long vanquished at the boardwalk.................

Brassie,

Dude, maybe you should rethink the Peter Pan analogy. He was always flying around in the shadows (hence the “tinkle bells”, let me pee in peace, dang it!) and he was always played by a girl.

No doubt I have always been a harley fan. But I have yet to see a Harley fan at our local club that hasn't gone totally gaga over these bikes. I mean, they have a 502 Big Block V-8 with over 1300 lbs of weight on 'em.

Rev.....we gotta stand next ta onea dem babies and look it over at a swapmeet while the guy fired it up and let it run a while fer a small crowd. Really different !! They appear ta be so big and bulky......to much weight.......it'd prolly be better ta have onea them out in the wide open spaces where ya can jus ride ride ride.....not fer that suburban area crusiein or havein ta go thru lotta small towns and stops.

Post by RevDeFord on Jan 5^th, 2003, 2:57pm

I wouldn't want to set one down, I can tell you that. At 1300 pounds and 35,000 dollars, that is a big mistake.

You folks are a great bunch. I really appreciate the photos, websites, and conversation.

Ya'll rock!

A close freind jus bought a brand new 'Screamin Eagle'.....cost him $ 30,000.00.......insurence was a problem.....his wouldn't cover a bike over about 18 to $20,000.00 or not be able to guaruntee any more then that...he called around and most were like that so he had ta go with Harley group ins. It's a nice bike...had ta get used to it since he was only used ta older ones fer 20 yrs....they set different and balanced different. Shewww that's lotta money tho ...esp fer somewhere as seasonal as Ohio with ridein weather. Pam .............rock on !! ;D

Hey Rev,
There is only 1 rule about riding bikes.

DON"T FALL DOWN!

There are only 2 types of bikers.

Those that HAVE fallen down and

those that ARE GOING TO fall down.
