Great! Snowflake was not an option when I was growing up. Started out with an old Yamaha 80. Dang fun bike that was for a kid my size. My Dad's only stipulation was that I had to pick it up from the ground. Sounds funny, but hey, this was many years ago. So my Dad drove me to the guys house where he was going to buy it, and the guy took the old bike out into his front yard and laid it down in the cool grass. They both sat back and lit a smoke, and said "there you are boy". Pick it up. With all my might I tried and tried. Every inch of me I put into picking that bike up. And I failed. I was 11. I could not do it. But low and behold, many years later my Dad told me that that was a good friend of his at work, and they set the whole thing up. That bike was under the Christmas tree a few weeks after that day anyway. Fun times to remember.
