Remembering The BiCenennial 1976
Funny that today I am having flashbacks of our great Bicentennial all those years ago! I was just 20 years old, married with our first son, an AIC in the United States Air Force. Made it home on leave to catch all of the local 4th of July activities. Remember listening to a new 8 track tape while driving home, Peter Frampton singing "I want you...show me the way....every day.....
Seeing all of the Bicentennial road signs along the highways. It was a great time here in the USA to be alive!
I should ask. Do any of you remember what you were doing on July 4, 1976?

Then I went and necked with some girl in my 65 Merc marauder

I sat on the roof of a three story house in South St. Louis and watched the fireworks on the river front. Probably the largest such show I have ever seen. 0 -

Would have just came back down South to Miami, from Mtn. City, TN. (Went to Freshman year of H.S. in Johnson County, TN.) Ended up not moving there, for a couple years. Went there my Senior year.
My parents bought my Older Brother and I Motorcycles, in order to get to school, etc.
My Brother got a (Canadian model) OD green RD 400, I got an RD 250. (Should have stepped it up to a 350.)
Both got tricked out in the following years.
My motorcycle mania followed.0 -
Swimming in Lake Erie getting ready to get married. 0 -
