Your Early Years

[2door]

Okay guys, start digging and see if you can find any photos of yourself in your early years of riding bikes. My sis found these two in some old family photos and sent them to me in a birthday card. It gave me this idea. See what you can find and post them here.
Apparently I was a triker before I was a biker. If you're guessing what years these were taken, check the cars.

The only pics I have are very bad in focus but here they are.

The first pic is me riding my sisters bike. The second pic is me riding with my grandfather with these bikes that are bolted together side by side. And the third pic is not me, thats my Dad giving my uncle Randy a ride.

i got into vintage bikes in the 80's because i hated BMXer's.

Those aren't bike pics...
I used to be a really good skater!!!! (I'd kill myself if I tried to ride one now tho. )

i rode for Vision in the 80's, turned pro in 1990, then the sport died and i had to get a job. i still skate, and i can still hang with the kids at the local parks, but it hurts a lot more when i fall now.

Paul,
Love the steering wheel and the training wheel brackets
Is that a minibike frame I see in the background?

LOL, Baird, you're right, I missed that. Venice should have found a pic of himself driving that. Now that would have been funny.

Those aren't training wheel brackets... They're foot rests so someone can ride on the back!!
