Default Now that the #1 thing is back.

Been noticing allot of interest in the resurrection of the old AMF #1 logo for Harley.

Just wondering how many here have any old original #1 **** from back in the 70's?

I've got a watch (see pic). It's unique as the #1 symbol is a floating second hand and appears to float around the dial without being attached to anything (see pic).

These were sold in 1976 and if memory serves me cost about $10.00 at that time.

I still have one of the old white #1 tee shirts. Unfortunately, I can't fit in it anymore.

I was a kid the first go around. I do VIVIDLY remember my Evel Knievel bicycle (with the "1" logos) when I was around 7. It even had a fake gas tank. Probably my favorite toy growing up.

I really like the new Dark Custom twist on the "1" logo, if you couldn't tell by my avatar. See my signature block for my favorite toy now.

Here is picture of me in 1971. Note helmet. I still have several new #1 stickers somewhere, but having moved 10 times since then 71 I'm still looking through my stuff for them. I even have original new Pan head valve covers that I use for hardware storage.

It will be awesome to see all the vintage stuff come out of the drawers, closets, and garages.

I remember them from the Evil days back when I was a kid. I like the look; have a derby cover with the "1" on it.

I still have a "#1" patch on my cutoff. Does that count?

In a drawer somewher, I have a few of the old #1 stickers. I bought them to put on a helmet and never used them. If memory serves me I paid .10 each for them.
