billygoat!
Look Ma, No Hands!
Owned from about 1977. The first show we took it to, was the Indian Summer Bike Meet at Macungie Park,
founded by the very kind & wonderful Art & Kay Bransky. It was the best day of our lives, before or since.
Met so many nice people, including parts dealer (the late) Don Dotson and his beloved wife. I rode my Mark-II Jaguar alongside Loretta's Panther, many miles on the paved park trail & roadway. Until that time, we never knew that there were vintage bike shows. Saw a green Phantom for the first time and fell in love with the look. 33 years
later, I now have one. It was built Oct 27/28, 1954. Discovered a few hours ago, that the Panther was made four
days later!!! AMAZING. They were likely in the Schwinn warehouse together!!! All photos taken today. Thank
you, CABE, for allowing us the opportunity to share our passion, with so many friendly members. Never hear of
CABE until yesterday. Note photo of my Dad's Schwinn store below. About 1967/68 (Brooklyn)
