A few cool shots…and one dating back to ’59!

Posted on August 4, 2010

On a recent group ride we passed a couple of entrepreneurial photogs snapping pictures and selling them.  We found these guys on the Internet and bought a few photos, and I’ll tell you what…these folks know how to work a camera!   Not a lot of words on these photos…just enjoy the bikes and the art!

Here’s just one more…and it’s a 51-year-old photo that comes to us all the way from 1959.  Our new friend Jack posted this on the StripersOnLine.com discussion board featuring our bikes (there’s an active thread going on over there right now), and he graciously gave me permission to post it here…

Here’s what Jack said when I asked if I could post it:

Joe, I don’t really have any real info on the scooter (bad case of CRS. Sorry.)  The day after that pic was taken (I’d had it since Christmas of ’58) I wrecked it and since I was only 14 at the time my folks never let me have another bike as long as I lived at home. The picture was taken in Waco, Texas and you can see the date on the top of the picture.

All that I can remember after 51 years is that it was a hoot to ride. It was my first bike and in many ways my favorite over numerous bikes I had throughout my adult life. It would embarass me no end to tell you what I’d do to have one of those 2010 models.

You have my blessing on using the pic on your blog. In fact I’d be honored.

Thanks,

Jack, it’s pretty hard to embarass me.  Give us a call and tell us what you’d give for one of our bikes, and you just might be surprised!  I’m thinking of an orange-and-white one that’s almost certainly perfect for you…

Gotta run, folks….one of my neighbors just called to tell us he cooked up a batch of chile rellenos, so I’m outta here!
