    J.C. Higgins Unreal!!!!!

    Wow ! I have a Jetflow. It's complete except for the chrome thingy on the back of the rack. It's a rider, but it's Very Rusty !! I'm sooooo jealous !

    Well, I know it's red, but...

    Thanks for all the info ! It'll hang right where it is for another year or two, but I think it's a keeper. Thank You all ! PJB

    Well, I know it's red, but...

    I dragged this home from a yard sale last week, just 'cause I like the way the frame is made. I suspect is is not very old, and certainly in it's current condition, not very valuable, but... I like it anyway, so now it's hanging from my rafters. Can anyone fill me in on who might have made it...

    What i found this week in the dumpster,

    Too bad you crashed it already. I built and flew a bunch of planes when my sons were younger. If you really want to learn to fly, find an experienced pilot to inspect the plane before it's first flight. Weight and balance are Critical !! Then he can take it off and get some altitude. When it's...

    Bicycle Table

    I've always been amused by the use of "reality" and " TV " in the same sentence !

    What am I riding here ?

    We did have a Western Auto in town at that time. My first job was there, stocking shelves, sweeping floors ( does anyone still use sweeping compound on squeaky wooden floors ? ) and assembling bikes, trikes, wagons, etc. It would make sense that it came from there. I don't have the time or...

    What am I riding here ?

    That's me, in the white shirt and with the really short legs ! My parents bought me this bike new in the summer of 1959. It's the only new bike I've ever had and now, of course, it's long gone. Can anyone tell me what it is, and is there any chance I might find one like it still surviving ...

    Hot Rods....little ones

    Aurora Model Motoring is what came to mind when I saw those ! My brother and I had 2 green plastic controllers and a very basic starter kit of track. It's amazing how well the sense of smell is preserved ! Those little motors just screaming ! My favorite vehicle was a tractor-trailer rig ...

    WHAT GOT YOU INTO THE BIKE HOBBY

    A couple years ago I stopped at a friends house to show off my "new" motorcycle. I saw a chrome front end of a bicycle, with a big round head light on it, sticking out from behind a half-closed door. I've always kinda liked tankers, and this turned out to be a Jetflow, complete but very rusty...
