Just wonderin.... because of post in another thread that made me think about my childhood. Before it gets forgotten many of us old guys may want to remember....

Trip to Atlanta with the Pittsburgh Pirates when I was 8 years old. Got my name in the paper, on the radio, stayed in the same hotel as the Pirates, got pictures with everyone, got all their signatures, got locked in a store with Fredie Patek and Jose Pagan, got to talk with Roberto Clemente, and got to go on the field before the game during warmup and be in the dugout. It was my first airplane ride and it was only me and my GodMother (Aunt Dot - God rest her soul). No mom or dad... she let me eat whatever!! When not at the ballpark, i swam in the pool and we walked around the Peachtree, through the city streets, ate at a small cafes.

It was Easter weekend, saturday

I was 13

I was riding my bicycle all over the area (as usual) when my Mom and Dad drive up in the parking lot of an apartment complex I was fucking around in, as usual, saying they were looking for me, which was odd, because no one was hurt or anything.

Told me that we have to go to the Yamaha Shop to pick up a part for my brother's bike...sweet! I love going to the shop!

(Why is Mom going? She never goes, but for some reason, that never crossed my mind)

We get to the shop, Pompano Gold Coast and my Dad is spending a crazy amount of time in the office with John, the manager.

In the meantime, I'm sitting on this nice new '77 YZ80D, waiting for my Dad to get done, wishing this thing was mine so I didn't have to race the POS XR75 that HAD TO BE THE REASON I was not doing so well racing.

Dad comes out, with John, and says "You like that bike?"

I reply "Yeah"

"it's yours"

"What?"

"It's yours"


I had and still have never been happier


I have tears now as I type this, remembering it

When I was 6, my best friend was the little girl who lived on the other side of the pond. One day she invited me up to the hay loft of my barn to rollerskate........... naked.W00t

I was kinda poor when I was a kid and me and my mom lived with her parents. She met my future stepdad in college and he took me as his own. I remember he took me to some dirt drag racing event a biker club was putting on and I seen a kid that was a few years older than me riding a dirtbike. It had never occured to me before that kids could ride dirtbikes but after I seen that kid that was all I talked about. One day while I was staying at his parents house he came up and told me he had something for me. We went out to the driveway and he had a brand new JR50 for me. I was absolutely thrilled. I rode the wheels off that thing.

Dude... my aunt had season tickets since the 40s. They had them for over 60 years. Neither one of them ever got married, so baseball was what they did. They had Steeler seaons tickets as well, but gave those up years ago.

They just sold their rights to the tickets. They had tickets that were at the end of the 3rd base dugout, 3 rows up (first two rows were reserved for visiting team family and friends) the first two seats. We use to show up to the games early and watch fielding practice and everything. At Forbes field, my aunts knew one of the cops that worked the traffic, Joe the cops is all I remember, and he would park is cycle in a space just outside the front gate for my aunts. When they get to teh game he would move his bike and they would get a front row parking space.

As far as McLouth... another idiot trade by the idiots in charge!! The Pirates would have actually had some pretty good teams if they would not have traded all thier best players away ove the last 15 years or so. Just look at the names of some the the best in the league and good odds they spent their early day in the Burg.

How cool is playing in the Little League World Series.. DAMN!!

Getting my first bike, duh. That was always my favorite memory.

Well, second favorite actually. First place belongs to the 15 year old I lost my virginity to. LOL.

1969: My dad comes home from work Friday night, he tells me he forgot something in the truck and wanted me to get it for him. I walk out the front door and in the back sits a shiny blue new 1969 Z50. That night we went to KMart to get me a helmet, I wanted the stars and stripes easy rider model. Mom said I got white.

HERES ONE..of many..

i was 10 1/2(12 and under) and entered a free throw contest in oceanside,VW shop..jerry west had 8 out of 10..beat him and go to LA for the shoot off

i could only shoot granny style(too small)..i missed my first,but hit 9 out 10....got to represent san diego county in LA..i got to meet the LA Lakers and watch their pro game..

another kid won the contest with a perfect score..i only got 7 out 10 that day..too nervous

i had a signed certificate that i beat jerry West,signed by him and a throphy..

i used to look at my son at age 11(average kid) and wonder how i ever did that being so small
.

of course my first racebike at 15 and that was a great day too..15 with a 1970 100 cc baby green streak..it was so fast..it would beat my 125's in a drag race

Im 12 years old and my father comes to me and tells me he's moving out and my Mom will explain everything. Later mom sits me and my younger brother down and tells us that they are getting a divorce. I ask something like "whats a divorce" (thery werent real popular in 1962) when I got the 12 year old definition I was OVER THE FREAKIN MOON. I cant begin to explain how happy I was. It was better than a whole truck load of new motorcycles. (ps my first bike would be 3 years later at age 15 and that may be my second best childhood memory)

Toss up between my new 1988 yz80 and seeing pretending to be a sleep so I can watch my 17 y/o babysitter change out of her bathing suit. It was glorious, she was a cute new wave red head chick and the carpet matched the drapes.

Lots of them. Most centered around our family waterski/camping trips. Started those in the late fiddies. I actually remember 58/59 watersking in the back bay here, not me my Dad. We used to go all the time to the River and any mudhole here in Ca/Az/Nev. Many rights of passage during those times.

Had one fairly similar Dave, think i was in 6th grade and i had a bunch of friends over for my birthday party, my dad came through the front door rolling in a brand new 81 YZ80. I had no clue, was pretty damn stoked. It was a slumber party and i remember just sitting in the garage most of the night staring at it.

Good times!

About that same time (late 50s) I went on this long drive with my parents from our home in Lakewood way out into the wilderness to a place called Lake Elsinore to go waterskiing. I was maybe 8. I cant be sure but Im thinkin it wasnt such a cess pool back then.

We even skied that, Lake Perris and Victorville, all mudholes. Hell we even used the Colton Ski tow. Elsinore was always a scum pond and the Salton Sea, we hit them all. But still good times.
I got to experience the River before it was overrun. Used to leave our stuff out on sandbars and it was never bothered.

There was a teacher in my junior high that used to let friends of mine feel on her and look up her skirt. I never knew why she let them and never had the nerve to try it myself. But I know they were telling the truth because I was next to my buddy one day when he lifted her skirt from behind while everyone was going up the stairs, she had to feel it but she never looked back. Everyone that was behind us on the stairs had a clear look at her ass and apparently she didn't mind.

Oh wait, none of that was true, that was just a daydream I had. No wait, that's not true either, I just copy and pasted it from here:
