Wore out three sets of tires already!
So I am a geek. Of this there is no doubt.
This gorgeous bike was one of the very best space age designs to come out of the late 50's and 60's middle weight Jetson's style bikes. It reminded me of the optimism the USA had in everything it produced during the space race to the moon. The 59 caddy, sputnik lamps, Philco Predicta TV sets, Ariel Leader motorbike, boomerang tables, Eames Ball chairs were all designed to look like they could fly into space. I had 2 of these bikes signed by the actors who played commanders on the TV show Star Trek. I have no idea where the other bike has gone. This one I kept.
Signature above is the late Leonard Nimoy who played Mr. Spock.
Above is Patrick Stewart who played Captain Picard.
William Shatner who played Captain Kirk
Sean Kenny who played Captain Pike.
There are 11 or 12 signatures on this old bike from the TV I used to watch 1965-1967... about the same time I would leaf through the Sears "Wish Book" wondering what It would be like to own this bike.
