Without Love - Tom Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TyOnCvVLm8

I was once clocked at 65 mph on a dirt road, on one of those, when I was young and du.....bulletproof. Fastest production mini-bike made, until Speedway came out with their Sachs 125. Quickest too, by far.

My brother's MX was a Hodaka and had a 35 tooth sprocket. His was only the second one in Michigan.

Hmmm....not a single Rupp 440 Magnum in the bunch. My favorite sled from the old days, then came the 90hp Speedways and the 140hp T-Jets.:blink:

Brookville, eh? We used to take 80 to Brookville, then south to Clymer, where my wife's folks hail from. Then we switched it up and started taking both 'Pikes. Wife was born in Indiana, PA.

You don't have any choice in the matter. I used to get the flu almost every year til I started getting flu shots. Haven't had a full-blown case since. That was over 25 years ago. While getting shots, I usually have a day when every one else is sick as a dog, and I feel "kinda crappy." That's my...

It's doing this and plenty of it. Cold and snow. This was from our first real snowfall, unfortunately it hasn't really stopped since. We had exactly 3 days of above freezing weather since, and have been in the deep freeze most of the time. All the while it drops 2 -5 inches of snow seemingly...

I'd suggest a cruise. Carnival is the best for singles fun, as Royal C and Princess are too high and mighty, most say. I've been on seven with the wife, but have seen what they offer singles and it would be great. As for islands, Aruba is my favorite, by far, second best would likely be St...

Black River is the name of the town, actually. Borgstrom road, Hart's Motel and Cabins, any of those ring a bell?

That's a sweet looking mini. I remember Ward's older bikes from the early seventies. We had our bikes in the Upper Peninsula in Black River where we rented cabins along US-2. We could ride our minis on the beach, and it was a total blast. Another guy renting a cabin by ours had a black Ward's...

This. I was diagnosed with a Meniscus tear almost 30 years ago. It's just now starting to pop regularly when I walk. Sounds like a damn firecracker at times and hurts like hell when it's that loud. I waited long enough that surgeries are far better now than then. But it doesn't sound exciting...

Sorry, double tap

The daily driver. And the toy.

Well, I'm 240 now. When I was 14, I was probably all of 135. This bike would do 40 with me on it back then until after about a years worth of riding and then 35 was the best it would do. It would still do close to that in the 80s, but then it was stored forever til now. A 6.5 will easily better...

Well here she is before her major cleanup. I've had her for over 43 years and she's due for a new heart and lungs. I might just see if I can get her running as is, but I really want to Predatorize it. I weigh far more than I did when I was 14.:doah:

Once in 1983, I worked 12 hours a day for 36 days straight. It was putting in a new process, so it involved some heavy work like using a rock drill. When I finally got a full day off, it felt like I was off for a week. Never did that again and am now retired, but still can't seem to find enough...

Hey Spyderdregg Since you've posted 2 Hey Joes, I wonder if you've heard this one. From Johnny Rivers' hippie days, and his best album. He covers Whiter Shade of Pale in the same album, and IMO does it as good or better than Procol Harum. Johnny Rivers - Hey Joe - YouTube Myself, I'm...

Looks familiar. Reminds me of my Grandparents place many moons ago. Most of my relatives are in the Rexton/Naubinway area, but stretch from St. Ignace to Gladstone. I used to go with my uncle that drove for the Mackinac County road commission. The V-blades were awesome at 30 or 40mph. I was too...

Had all my wisdom teeth at 15. Must've come in soft though, because I broke one on a soft piece of candy. Had em all out by early 20s. Doc said, if they're that soft they're not doin me any good. Took 3 trips, the broken one first, two on the next, and the final on the last. Simple extractions...

Oh, I did that already up north. The taxes on it are quite agreeable, NOW. OTOH, the taxes on my first home have been doing nothing but go up over the years, until a couple years ago and are now trickling down.:censure: My house is worth less than half what it was worth 5 years ago, yet my taxes...
