 Re: What was your first bike?
For Christmas I got a weird 3 speed hub shifter sting ray style that never shifted right when I really wanted a Schwin Sting ray. That piece of trash had a wide checkerboard sting ray style seat, hard as a rock. My dad was a cheap SOB (ok like me) so he probably got it at a raffle or discount store. My mom tied a tony the tiger tail on the stubby sissy bar. My parents must have known I was disappointed....because in July (my b-day) I got a real Schwinn sting ray.....I was in REAL love. I did about everything but make love to the thing.......I do remember the next year or so putting a smaller front crank gear on it.....must have been an omen. |
