I worked in a Schwinn store as a teenager, just old enough for a work permit. Spent hours after school and on weekends assembling and repairing bikes, saving up a few dollars for a Honda CR125 Elsinore MX bike I wanted. Anyway, motorized and non-motorized vehicles have been my lifetime passion, and I enjoy going to car shows and vintage motorcycle and bicycle swap meets. As an automotive tech these days, I find great pleasure working on simple machines like my bicycles.

I remember the Super Course, Onyma.....beautiful bike. I thought about getting one back then, but the owner of the Schwinn store was a cranky old bastard and would've fired me if I bought a Raleigh from his competition across the street.
