Racer 65

Old Toy Motorcycle

My father is helping clear out some old things from a lift. He happened upon this item. Stern faced racer with Suzuki emblazoned across the front. The mice from the mouse organ in Emily’s shop might need to roll their sleeves up on this one.

Plaything

1 Deutschmark a ride

Beautiful ride-on bike on display at the Porsche museum in Hamburg. Pillion seat include so two-for-one possible! The maker is Lenaerts in Belgium and these Indian lookalikes were manufactured in the fifties. Rather than a rocking motion of typical fairground kiddie rides this had rollers that sped the wheels around. “Sehr viel spaß” as they say in Germany.

– The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we’re a phenom in the late 80’s. Named after renaissance artists, Michelangelo , Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo, they came from the sewers of New York City to fight crime. Surfer jargon was essential too.

Four Oh Seven Seventh

– an unusual toy from the seventies popped up on the intraweb today. A repurposed 70’s Japanese model with olive drab loosely uniformed Hawkeye Piece figure is a fun toy from M*A*S*H. The lunatic existence of an army surgical unit in the Korean War.

LEGO | someone knows their studded block assembly with this model of an early 70’s Triumph Bonneville. Plenty of tricky parts to get the engine looking somewhat realistic. Growing up LEGO was my favorite building toy.
