The day they delivered mine and told me "it will go anywhere" was awesome. I drove it straight to the deepest irrigation ditch on the farm. Somehow it didn't flip end over end on the way down. However, it flipped 3 times when I tried to come out of that damned ditch. Finally had to get the tractor.

I had a 79 RM125. I bought it second hand and the guy I bought it from had bored it out and done some work on the head that made the power band like hitting nitros.

CR 80 was a hell of a motorcycle . Good thing I switched to 3 wheelers not too long after having that . Think my dad knew I would end up dead if I stayed with two wheels

I had a gray XR75. Bought it used, with my own money. Rode it into the ground when Shenandoah was a fairly new subdivision and the back was still undeveloped.

My dad had a video store in the late 80’s/early 90s.

Before Blockbuster really took over; when people rented videos and video games.

Screener copies of every movie a few months before they were released.

That was a good time.

A snowblower. We lived in upstate NY when I was a teenager and our neighbor had one. The rest of us neighborhood boys shoveled. It sucked.

My dad worked in insurance and got one as salvage after a fire. I remember my brother and I in our basement on our knees praying it would work when dad plugged it in. It did, and still does almost forty years later.
