    I still have my 110 Honda. Remember the blue one? That's it.

      Hah, I used to ride a Tecate and had a badass Banshee. The good old days. I'm getting sore just thinking about it.

      But this was my first love. First bike I bought with my paper route money.

        I still have dreams (nightmares?) of being on one of those in the woods and getting up on the pipe and trying to turn at the same time.

                I think the pager was more like a "White Courtesy Phone in the Lobby" when I was a kid......

                    My folks swore I'd never have a bb gun, minibike, or go cart, but I had friends with them.

                    I had to save up lawn mowing money and paper route money to buy my own "intellivision" my Dad didn't like the idea of video games.... turns out now that I'm a Dad - I feel the same way - moderation is the key.

                    other then the motorized stuff, my parents were the same way - what was ironic is we never got hurt shooting the BB guns, .22s, or playing video games (we were raised with the fear of God and parent - depending who got you first would make you hurt); however, as we did have motorcycles (and things which loosely would be called go-karts) I'm with Bamf, I'd like my left knee, right ankle, lower back, both shoulders, and my neck back.

                      man, that was another one I lusted after too...

                      all I could ever muster was a 85 Honda 110, no shocks and I could only ride it at the farm..maybe once a month...
