 Memories of firsts

What great memories you all have. Must really have had an impact for the present, with your love of tractors.

I recall as a kid helping out to get truck loads of ear and shell corn from area farmers. They were of the old breed, having been born 1900 or before. Many born and raised on their small family farm. What stories they had! And tough as nails. Many had fingers, limbs, etc. missing from mishaps. They had a real work ethic, and were self relient. It was always fun to see their old tractors, and hear them talk about them like it was one of their kids. Theirs very few of the oldtimers around anymore. Those farms have been sold off for housing, or merged with larger farms. I listen more closely to my father now, about the history of this area. Man, time flies.

Yee ha! Been there, done that. Brokenarrow, might that have been an older rm with a quirky powerband. The ones with no low end grunt, but when it does catch, hold on. Loved looking at the faces of my buddies when they came back from a ride, on some of the old circa 70's bikes. They would have a s**t ass look on their face. Many times they would never get them out of first, just wheelie when the power band kicked in, landing back first, on the ground. I always demanded they wear a helmet because of that. Never could keep rear fenders and tail lights on for long.
