mine was a dry-cleaning bag. man, i played with that thing until i was blue in the face.
Lmao think it was walmarts linoleum... Man that stuff loved my head :icon_eek:
GI joe is the first one i remember
GI-JOE? Lord have mercy you are young!
Mine was a push-pedal metal car in 1957. God, I loved that little car. I understand they are worth a lot of money now. I sure wish I had mine with me. Money couldn't buy it. Thanks for the "throwback in time".
i'm 45 and the gi joe i played with was 12" tall

I think therea a little humor in there. Intentional..I dont know....but I couldnt stop laughing.
Mine was my moms pots and pans. Or so the pictures say. I can only remember back to two years old. And my first then were GI joes. I had a butt load of em.
My first toy I could remember was a little red push thingy. Almost shaped like a car but you stradled it I'd ride it for hours. Then I upgraded to the power wheels three while police cycle! I ran that thing into the ground! guess why I love bikes now.
Yeah, was born in 80!

Mary, bless your heart, my daughter was born in '83 and I waited until she was three and "in my opinion" was "mature enough" to get her a battery powered 3 wheeler. Ha ha ha. One of her very first words that she learned was HOT. She would bring her hand near my Yamaha 650 twin cylinder heads and look at me and say "HOT" very loudly. I would drive her around the yard in 1st gear. To this day, she has never been on another motorcycle.
Frank................please just go back to sleep....................you are one dizzy dude
loki.........you live about 2 miles from me. Don't let me catch you snoopin' around here looking at my s h i t 'cause "I ain't from around here".
I'm actually a lot more cold-hearted than these pirates and thieves that frequent this area and am usually given a wide berth. I'm kidding with you dude. I live in the only house in Dutchtown with a GS500E in front of it on beautiful sunny days. I give her a bath, then roll her right back into her home, the shed, where she resides. At times I get to a "breaking point"..........when I get to peaking and I am juuuuusssst about ready to dump 3 clips, I get on her and ride down that old river road towards New Orleans and back and I am "back to normal". She is always there in case I need her. Nice little 60 mile loop toward Convent and back to DTown via Gonzales. We need to do it when weather permits.:)
Sweet i didn't even know there were any other riders in my area you should map yourself.
I live about a mile and a half (off of 74) from dtown high where i go to school (class of '10)
You won't see my bike cause im working on derusting tank but may see me riding around yard soon :)
I DID map myself. I won't ever do that again.
edit: I live one and a half miles from D'town High also, off of 73. Mine is a Y2K model (2000). I just turned over 2000miles (yes, two thousand). :)
