This picture was taken in about 1950. It is me on my Dad's 1948 Aerial Square Four. We lived in Van Nuys, and at the time there was a chicken ranch across the street.

I believe this is my dad, probably around my age now, working on I think his Woody he had. At least this is what I assume.

My dad at I believe 18 and his friend working on the '33 Ford, which still looks the same today (except all together). I wish I could fix this photo, I accidentally spilled something near it and have no idea how to get those dots off.

I believe this to be my grandparent's house, probably around the time that they just got it.
...I tried to clean up the pix for you...not professional, but better

This was always one of my favorite photos, shoehorning a big Boss 429 into a 1969 Mustang. This photo represents everything (to me) that the Musclecar Era was about. Small car, big engine, no excuses.

My neighbor Dave worked at a 'bikeshop' back in the mid 60's. He had an 'Ariel' square 4. also before that a 'weezer'(spell). Drove a 500 cc single Harley to school.

Totally bogus. Back then a hot (and tiny) car (Griffith, Cobra, etc.) could get into the four-second range.

This is one of my Dad's early Harley's. The picture was taken at 6th and Hill St in Ocean Park, CA sometime between 1945-1949.

Wow. As much as I've wanted to, I've never seen one "in the flesh". As a "grownup" did you ever get to ride one?

Only as a passenger. The first bike that I rode myself was a 1955 BSA Road Rocket (650cc). However, I did a lot of riding on the pillion seat. I was the passenger in hill climbing events and field event competition. That was in addition to the street trips we took. All that I remember about the Ariel Square Four was that the rear cylinder ran hot.

By the time I was old enough to ride/drive my Dad was getting new motorcycles at least ever other year. I took the BSA when he got his '57 Sportster. He had quite a few other bikes after the Ariel.
