Dayum. Bunch of kiddies whining about being 30-something. I remember all the crap bikes I had back in the 70's. I went thru them like TP so I couldn't begin to tell brands or models. And we would "build" our own from spare parts here and there so only Odin knew what the fuck we were riding at any given time. ha ha Road bikes with small back wheels for easy wheelies. Chopper handle-bars. Banana seats. Sissy bars. Single speed. 3-speeds. 10 speeds. We was young and it was all good. Those were the days. My new motto is: Ride whatever makes you feel good. Of course, now I'm depressed. I need a beer or 12. Thanks a lot guy. Showing your real ages ?? Dayum. Bunch of kiddies whining about being 30-something.

I see that same model and color MB-5 sitting in my friends garage. It is his wifes. He owns a shop here in Indy and doesn't have the heart to put her on something new, not like she's taking in off the road. Mine was a '89 Specialized Hard Rock Comp. Still have it, after many paint jobs and trade outs. Now your showing our real age. I see that same model and color MB-5 sitting in my friends garage. It is his wifes.
