Reply to comment by doubleohzerooo0 in my grandpa and grandma when they started dating. 1940s, we believe. by Phraenkinstone

Thanks! That's his Indian cycle back behind them too. He passed lately, been trying to get a post up.

Appreciate those good vibes!

AH, that explains the lady trousers = easier to ride.

I wonder where that old bike ended up. My house was built in the 20's and the back yard has this odd mound. I suspect someone buried an old bike there.

If you have more pictures, I'd definitely be interested in seeing them!

Yo, that'd be way neat to excavate a mount and find a bike. I doubt it'd be in any sort of shape but a pro might be able to salvage it.

No clue where there bike went, literally learned about it today at his funeral.

If I post more pics, prolly an album on imgur I'll try to hit you up about it.

Edit the bike, not there bike.

I am drunk.

Yeah, it would be neat to dig up an old motorcycle. Unless it's not really a motorcycle but rather something that should have remained buried. YIKES!

Half man, half motorcycle and.... wait they did that as commercials already.

Fuck.

This house has some history, seems it was one of the first houses available for rent way back in the day. I live in a small town, and it seems everyone has a tie to this house. Either they grew up here, or their parents did, or they new someone who used to live here. One of the guys I work with grew up in my house!

So yeah a hybrid man-thing would not surprise me.
