Old School Cool

Posted by Yabu at 11:35 AM

I had exactly this same Schwinn Stingray. Same color, same slik, same everything.

I bet I put a million miles on that puppy, most of ‘em on the Slik only. I could almost make that fucker fly. It was bad to the bone before there was bad to the bone. I was too cool for school.

    Things certainly were different in the old days weren’t they?

    I learned to ride on a small Schwinn and a John Deere bike that was set up the same as that Stingray…
    Damn… that seems like another world.

    I had the cheap Huffy knock-off, with a sissy bar for popping mean-ass wheelies.

    I miss my banana seat and glow in the dark handgrips.

    Those chrome fenders were the bomb were they not? Hell, a bike like that was the first I closepinned a Mike Schmidt rookie cart to the back wheel to make the cool ass “motor” sound… Damn! Schmidt rookie…
