Vintage shots from days gone by!

HA HA I remember those days

 

I still have scars from riding a bike like this.

 

I love this pic. Think we were influenced by all the hells angel biker movies in the late 60's. I wish I knew how many miles I put on my Stingray. Mine went a different route. Tall sissy bar and a 18" gooseneck. Oh yeah, we was bad.

Trains used to pass through downtown Syracuse NY

 

#4762 is Freddie's Donuts from Buffalo, New York. No finer jelly donut and often a casual hangout for small groups of really late night rodders.

 

Those were the days my friend. Thanks for sharing.

 

And sadly.......long gone!

Back in the 60's and early 70's my dad had a side job repairing small appliances, like toasters, coffee pots and irons. Can you imagine?

My mother would drive from Akron to downtown Buffalo to a place that sold appliance parts, Shield's Brothers, and we would always stop at Freddies!

Here,s three of the smaller variety and one from after world war II when there was a fuel shortage.

 

Chuck, I remember them goosenecks were not that easy to find. Not your typical bicycle shop accessory. An old picture of an old classmate Bruce.

 

He doesn't look like a happy camper to me....

Undeniable photographic evidence. Absolutely definitive proof. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Yup, guys in the '50s wore goofy shoes....
