Remember when

And I can remember collecting soup labels and sending them in for these cups.
I still have some in as shipped box.
About 55 years old.

 

Ah shit that clear glass looks so familiar, I remember drinking tea out of that when I was a kid, at my grandpas house. Man I haven't seen that glass in decades.

 

I remember when I could fill up the .9 gallon tank on my first motorcycle, my Honda S90, for 25 cents during the gas wars......and go almost 100 miles before filling up again. That was in shorts, T shirt, flip flops and no helmet and not even a motorcycle license. Just having a permit in California allowed a person to ride a motorcycle.

Heck, having ridden for 50 yrs and teaching motorcycling my classes always cracked up that I never took a class or a motorcycle test at the DMV. When motorcycle operators licenses game into being if you owned a motorcycle you were grandfathered in. Helmet laws did not come in for many years after I started riding.

Along those lines I had a local municipality motor officer take my class because he did not have a motorcycle license yet he was a working motor officer. I asked how that happened and did he ticket non licensed riders. He said he was not sure how he slipped by and he never ticked a rider for not being licensed. Crazy, just crazy...BTW, he was the nicest guy.

 

Loved my Major Matt stuff. Had one of these that I just removed the ball portion. So fun!

 

Mom had that stuff by the barrel! LOL That and a bandaid fixed everything. BTW that stuff stung like hell!

 

I have that set.
