I can't remember, was there two versions of Evil Knievil's bike? I'm certain I had two of those crank up things. May have had two bikes, I don't know.

I know he had a rocket cycle, that one he tried to jump Snake River Canyon in. I remember the parachute deployed early and it was knows as the "Mistake that saved his life." My buddy had one. I think the one you have pictured, it was a different motorcycle than mine, mine was just the basic motorcycle and the wind-up thing was plain white.

Dang all this talk is making me want to look and get it out, wish I had time to play with the stuff now with all this talk. However, I have a web page design business to run and clients to please. I know we have to grow and assume responsibility but it would be nice to go back to being a kid just for the weekend every so often. B-) Then again, it won't be the same today so I'll just cherish my memories.

That's what nieces and nephews are for! Well, if you don't have kids of your own.

My parents saved most of my favorite toys. Not so much for me, but for visiting grandkids. They have all my Matchbox and Hot Wheels and MB cities/garages/racetracks.
All my cars are stored in those 'vinyl boxes' with the plastic trays.

Here's one for ya, I have my first computer, an Apple IIc.
It still works! Matter of fact, I think it's never crashed. I have info stored on the (real) floppy disks in Appleworks format. I wish my printer would hook up to it, I like some parts of Appleworks better than MSWorks.

The IIc was the first portable computer I ever saw. You had to buy a special suitcase (large) which was outfitted with battery packs and a near-impossible to read LCD screen. The regular monitor is a 9 inch green screen.
