Did you guys know that Dru, aka Psyco, is also a muscle bike collector? Well then, be sure to see what he is bringing to MCACN 2012! I am visualizing some wild wheelie action this year!

Bob,
Talked to a buddy of mine today and asked him about his bikes. I asked for his opinion on which one he thought would go with a bad ass 69 copo black with yellow interior car for a display. He said he had 4 original paint schwinns. 2 lemon pickers, a cotton picker and a pea picker. What do you want to see? Grey ghost?

Since the Krates were made from 1968-1973, I am hoping to have at least one example of each color and year without bringing in my own. We have several lined up already.

The variations are;

Orange Krate, Apple Krate, Lemon Peeler, Pea Picket, Cotton Picker and Grey Ghost.

Bikes were offered as the popular 5-speed shifter version or as a single speed coaster all years. A little footnote is that in '73 only, they offered the Orange Krate in Sunset Orange, which is slightly darker. Disc brakes were standard fare for the 5-speed versions in 72-73 only, making them the most desirable and the Grey Ghosts are considered the lowest production.

Contrary to popular belief, the factory did not produce a Grape Krate or Coal Krate back in the day, but plenty of variations of the newer reissues have been offered and many &quot;clones&quot; have been built over the years.

Bring 'em on!

10 years ago who would have ever thought to inviting old bikes to a car show. Today I think in my mind what this display will look like and it is just &quot;totally cool&quot;. I have actually considered trying to locate bikes to compliment our show cars for future displays. If not for bikers like you Bob this likely would not have happened. Shame on VetteFest! Their loss!

Well...I've been called a lot of things, but never a &quot;biker!&quot;.

Thanks Rick, and get to finding those bikes!
