That's awesome thst you were at the forefront of the sport! This all really taking me back to a fun, carefree time.
Was it locked up?
I grew up with very little money. We were an immigrant family with 7 kids. I was lucky enough to score a used, loaded ProPerformer from a buddy for $150.....a bargain for this bike at that time. I couldn't be happier.........but my dream bike, at that time, was a Haro Master
Yea, not well enough though. So young and naive. My friend and I used a small chain. We come out of the mall find the chain cut and just my bike stolen. We go back into the mall to file a report (friend and I were using the same chain) come out and HIS bike is gone*smh* he had a Performer also. We were around 12/13. A good day for someone. That bike was one of the most expensive gifts I ever got... Actually the Dyno I got a few years later may have been more money, but I saved and paid a lot of it..
What we used to do when we go into a store and had to leave our bikes outside. We would pile our bikes up entangle the pedals into each others spokes so no one could just grab a bike and take off..
We didn't like to carry any extra weight like a bike lock. Normally someone would always stay outside we take turns. Lots of times we just take the bike into the store and walk it. Unless someone said we couldn't we just did it.
After college, I moved out to Hawaii. I left my GT with a cousin and through the years totally forgot about it. Years later I remembered about it and asked him about it and found out that his kids teenage boys used it on and off, through the years, and just basically left it out in the rain and snow and stuff. Just stuff that a lot of kids do, so basically the bike got into really bad shape and they trashed it. I never blamed them or anything since it was me that forgot about it, but they just didn't know the monetary nor sedimental value it had for me. Always bummed me out thinking about it though.
ah funny you mention Hawaii. My bike has been to Oahu. I went with my dad one year he went there for business convention. I got to go with him and I took my bike so i could cruise around.
