   Never had a bike. Got a go cart when I was 10. McCullough chain saw engine, 2 stroke. Man it would fly. Me and Dad would take it out to the abandened airport on weekends. I goy my first car at 11 yo, a 58 Chevy Del Ray. Drove it everywhere, never a hassle by the cops. Working on the cart and car kept me out of alot of trouble.  :cooldancing:

CCM was an initialism for Canada Cycle & Motor Co. Ltd, I don't think these bikes were available in the States.

I had a CCM 10' speed with 26 or 27 inch rims in high school ('76-77 ish) that I bought at a Buffalo bike store. It was a great bike.  "Loaned it" to my loser ex-brother in law and never saw it again.

Gotta get the 360 in my car and see how I feel about it - I love e bodies but I can't afford the one I want. I can afford the a body I want. It's a funny hobby that's for sure!

I fell in love with mopars through my uncles b3 blue 70 Duster 340 4 speed.

Either way pat on your friends back for such a nice example!

Some great bikes there, never seen anything like that before!   8)

Here's mine from the late 1970ies. Brand was Diamant Rodeo shifted by a t-knob Sturmey Archer 3 speed. It was also sold as Crescent Mach I. I've been trying to find one for some time now.

Funny...There was one like my CCM at the MCACN show and when I asked the guy it's value he said it was "priceless" because nobody has ever seen another one like it....LoL
