Spent many a night at the Pastime watching The Stanton-Anderson Band & Kivetsky. Then used to go down the block & check out the Amityville horror house. Always lots of gawkers there; I heard they changed out the quarter-moon windows & changed the adress 'cause the owners couldn't get any privacy. I would think it would've upped the value of the house.

 

For my "back in the day" was Deer Park Ave with my '72 Charger. The "94", ah Brooklyn North! howitzer88 LOVE your patch!!!

 

You young whipper snappers, I was Raceing my New 57 Plymouth fury on CONDUIT BLVD< and at the BOW WOW<also Wetsons hamburger in Valley stream, oN sunrise hwy, THEN at night get laid in the parking lot at the OAK BEACH INN out by captree. Rolling Thunder is still around( good people) OAK BEACH Inn is long gone, as is the FUN TIMES of our Youth. So im making new fun times in my OLD LOL.

 

Sorry, don't know myself.
My former club has its annual charity ride sign in at Mineola. They are very good about opening the place on Sunday.

 

Came across this thread by accident. Dickey, by any chance did you sell the Norton around '77 - '79 to a fireman in Queens? I inherited a 75 Commando from my Dad back in the early 80's. Still have it. Black and Gold, although Dad did repaint it.

 

Reading Hempstead, and Mineola...that's where my mom grew up. She was on the cover of the '58 Life Magazine that did an article on Hempstead High. My mom is the one sitting in the middle of the below pic holding the yearbook



My dad grew up in Queens...I do recall some old pics of racing and their cars.

 

I remember Mel who had the Dragon Sporty
when I lived in mineola

He used to be the super of my building in the early 70s

 

This thread is a great example of the internet at its finest. I grew up in Chicago, so don't know about any of this stuff, but it's a great read.

Much better than the usual whiney, bitchy bullshit.

Crazy

 

I remember The Good Rats, Spoof, Nathans Tuesday night bike nights in Oceanside. I use to see the Dragon bike going down Sunrise Highway around Amityville / Massapequa. Lots of muscle cars, street racing, Poindexter from Massapequa with his V8 Vega. A lot of good memories in this thread.

Speaking of bike memories, I never met a Norton I couldn't blow off..
