Spent two years riding shotgun in this rat '53, with my '48 Dodge in the background; best friend Bill on his '5? Triumph 650. I am in my best position, laying down, 15 years old.
@brush This picture is a classic; so typical of us as teenagers with our beaters. Spend hours tinkering on them, finally get it right and then go out and drive the living hell out of it until something else breaks....then repeat!

Oh so great memories indeed! Too bad the current generation of kids will not have those same great times to look back on.
@georgeschire I agree George. I actually feel sorry for them and their computer/video/cell phone saturated culture. Their perspective is very, very different than that of us old dudes of course and they understandably don't much care what we think, but IMHO they will never appreciate how much "life" they missed while not paying attention and being "out there".
@jack-dodds, it's the same for every generation. I remember my grandfather lamenting that I would never experience the joys of knowing and raising a horse or donkey for my transportation as he did in his village in Greece. I can see this generation of young people saying, "When I was a kid, you had to communicate through your phones. There was none of this brain-to-brain linking and teleportation! Boy! We had it made!"
