Ok, as I look back, I need to clarify something. I see a couple of you say you remember banana bikes. Well, I don't, but I do remember banana seats on bikes with short or high sissy bars. I even remember making fork extensions for my bike from an old frame I had.

Jet,
Thanks for the memory. I love Miss D! |
Funny memory about Donna Summer's 'Love to Love You, Baby'. I was working with a gal also named Donna Summer who was also a singer. When this song came out...her grandmother (Penticostal beliefs) thought it was her on the radio...grans came into work and proclaimed to my coworker...you are going straight to hell!....
Love that hip-grinding song! Is there anyone over 50 that didn't bump and grind to this song? |
