My Dad The Hell Raiser

My dad gave me a copy of this photo the other day, and I'm so glad he did. It was probably taken in 1949 or 1950 at their farm in South Charleston, OH on his Whizzer motorbike. Dad's on the left, my uncle Johnny is on the right.

Dad used to tell me how much he enjoyed riding this motorized bike in his day. It had a sturdy frame and over-sized tires to handle the higher speeds. He estimated it went anywhere from 50-60MPH once it was wound out. I can just see him now flying down a country road somewhere with a big smile on his face (back then he probably had a cigarette in his mouth as well).

Thanks for giving me this photo dad, it means the world to me!
