In the link there are pics of me from 1958 and 1963 in front of my grandparents' house, and one I took of my sons in front of that house a couple years ago. We stopped by there to see the old place while we were in town - someone had done a bunch of renovations and put it up for sale. I loved that house, remember every square inch of it - lots of good memories there:

Personally, I liked the way the house looked with all the greenery, made it look so welcoming...and those urns are( were cuz they;re gone) classic!

I agree, it looks pretty stark now - my grandma always had beautiful gardens, etc. But it had passed through several owners over the years and gotten pretty dilapidated, so it looks a lot better freshened up than it did.

My great, great Aunt Della. She was a large and in charge, handsome woman. Lots of stories around the campfires of her...story says she gave Bonnie and Clyde a place to stay for a bit, stilled her own whiskey and didn't take any flack from anyone...

Agreed...it looks very nice, except for the lack of landscaping.

Aunt Della reminds me of my Aunt Roxie. Big woman, great fisher woman and cook. She cut a big pie in quarters and that was your piece! She always had candy out in dishes and a stock of cold Nehi soda.

I'm the little tool on the bottom left. My family was big time into sox, bruins & celtics back then in the early 70's at that time we lived in Bellingham mass

Edit: reposted pic in another post cause this link went bad

Here's one from the late 80's shredding on the 250r. look at that mullet.
No helmet either. What a dumbass. Nowadays i make my kids wear a helmet on everything that has wheels. House rule

Edit: I'll repost the pic . It somehow got unlinked

No helmet supe but glad to see you at least had your body armour on.

Here's one that has followed me through the ages, I always act embarrassed when it resurfaces, but truth be known I loved that darn little dress... and the bonnet.

I'm also from the 70's Super X, when helmets were for wusses and seat belts for decoration. I know I rode on the back of this one pretty regularly, no helmet of course!

All I had to do was hold one of your mods and I knew that the dude behind em wasn't a stranger to crazy fast stuff and prolly did / does live on the edge.

That picture was a perfect example of "it sure seemed hardcore at the time" but looking at it now, if not for the exhaust and the rear wheels spinning alot faster than the front ( they always spun on a 250r in sand) it looks like I'm just sitting there going "brinnnng, brinnnng"

Super X, your pic is no longer showing up. I saw it yesterday, nothing but a little box today.

That is what I was saying I couldn't see the pics . I had my share of wheelers and dirt bikes growing up good times
