My first and only Huffy was a mid-70's ThunderRoad, the one all the
commercials showed being ridden offroad, but the stickers on the seat
tube told you not to.
Anyways, Christmas morning, I got up and ran down the the fireplace to
get my stocking. I went right around the bike and dug into the candy
and treasures, not seeing the bike at all, which was planted squarely
in front of the fireplace.
I eventually broke most of the parts on the bike through riding
off-road (against the sticker's warnings), replacing them with top bmx
parts, until I had a great bmx bike, except the frame, which I never
did collect the 200 - 300 bucks to get my desired frame.
Despite all the money and time I put into the bike, I donated it to a
needy family with several kids. I think they are putting it to much
better use than I would, as I have a GT and a Balance, and am waiting
on the arrival of my new VooDoo.
