Hey thanks for remembering. The young guys might not understand but those where special times. Maybe the tricks weren’t technical by today’s standards but we knew how to have a lot of fun. Great to see all the names and places on this site that I haven’t seen for so long. I’ve got a 5 year old obsessed with his bike so I’ve been spending a lot of time on mine. Now that I have a riding partner it would be cool to hook-up with some other crusty ole’ fellers to re-live the past. My AC/DC hats off to Britt for keeping it going for so long.

Yeah that’s me.
Yeah that’s me.
How about the General Meerkat H1. Harry had one at his house when they just came out. I rode it around his neighborhood for a while. It was fun to ride and pretty fast cause of the gears but not made for any high quality stunting. Part of that short lived F1 craze. Had a scooter too except I blew the thing apart in short order. 😥
I’ve been diggin’ this site for a while. If your a 4-H contest, General Bikes, or Ramp-ateria vet like myself then this is the place to be. Reading this stuff makes me feel like jumping on the bike and going out to get hurt. Got many General stories like when Harry Meyers had me do an IN a Minute show for the USA Network filmed in the parking lot at the General factory. Once in a while I’ll throw the tape in the VCR. Sort of painful to watch. I think that was in ’88. I’m still friends with Jeff Crawn and a few other Ramp-ateria alumni. Branden Morgan moved to Hollywood a bunch of years ago and has had a lot of small roles in big movies under his belt. Last year he was the star in a short film called Keeping up with the Jonesers acting with non-other than Rick Thorne. Small world.
What museum is your AC/DC hat in? I may want to go check it out. That and the indestructible General Suburban, trailer, and High Voltage Trick Team ramps. 8)I’m hoping you get bored enough to finish the General Tour “B Team” saga when I came aboard. The show at Zeroids Amusement park stands out when Jeff Mayer drove the suburban 60 mph in reverse to avoid getting us killed by a bunch of locals. Having the hotel room trashed at the AFA Masters in Schenectady was good times too. Also getting beat up on the Atlantic City board walk after hours while Jeff and Branden watched from afar warms the heart too. Jeff Mayer, Roger, Branden, Adam, Mark. Even did a summer of shows with Steve Rulli before that.
