Does anyone remember this toy?

I want to get it, swallow the fire extinguisher, sue them then use the proceeds to buy an HVX and 50 P2 cards.
 
Yeah I had one of those and it inspired me to get into bikes and all sorts of dangerous behavior.

Must have been a subconscious idea put in my head when I found Evil in the bottom of the toybox on top of Barbi... who I had a crush on at the time.
 
Thats awesome...i had two of them and me and friends would smash them into each other...it rocked.

But I think this was my fav growing up...I think you have to be in the under 40 to remember this. Unless they still make them? I wonder if they can make a mount for this...lol

Funny how we all drool over these high tech toys, yet the site of the Evil cycle and the bigwheel make me incredibly nostalgic in a way that I'm certain a Hi8 camera never will.
:)

(now Super8 on the other hand....)
 
Yeh, you are right about the Big Wheel and being under 40. I'm 49 and I remember my first apartment on my own, around 20 or 21, and the kids down the street had those damn things. They used to wake me up every morning riding up and down the sidewalk. Brilliant design, hollow plastic wheels rolling over gravelly cement. Damn kids...
 
How about the Green Machine? It was more ugly, more noisy, and harder to drive... but still fun.

My neighbor had that and the Evel Kneivel toy. I guess I was underprivileged.

This thread is killing me. I could spend HOURS on that site. I had a Green Machine. I was the hit of the neighborhood. And yes, it was VERY hard to drive.

The Green Machine was nice but my parents had better taste then to get that nasty green. Mine was called "The Red Baron". Just imagine the green machine being red. Simple.

They were not hard to drive... they ROCKED.

I always say treat your kids right and do nice things for simple people because there's one thing that you can never get no matter how much money you make... and that's PERCEPTION.

Wearing your mickey hat with hawiian shorts and flip-flops at Disney World is about as good as it gets when you're nine... but it kind of loses something at 34.

Oh and about those BMX bikes... who else got a 30 pound rock from K-Mart while all your friends had aluminum Mongoose race bikes? Man that sucked...
 
That sight of that Green machine gives me hives. This little brat down the street almost runs me over with it every day when I go for my walk.:cry:
