That's funny, Cruiser Jim, he was known as in Patchogue late 80's. I have some pictures of wheeling with him at that time. I need to reach out to him, as I sold my last cruiser in 2001 (mistake), but was able to acquire my current one last year and have slowly been trying to get it road worthy.
Thanks
Jim

I attended the last Catamount Cruiser Challenge (1998?), my first time at an event.

When the NJ club went away, Yankee Toys was formed and the Fall Gathering replaced CCC. Fun times

 

[JohnnyC]

Most likely I wheeled with you… I was living in Boston then… there was however a ton of trucks in all those events

Got a pic of your cruiser from then?

 

[JohnnyC]

Was just down recently… didn’t see a single cruiser … not even Jim … usually see him for a hello but wasn’t around

In front of the childhood home

Btw anybody know of anybody who wants to buy a 1930 Ford Model A … original paint … runs and drives … most everything still original… I think the range is 12-15k didn’t look into fair price just yet

Was my fathers who passed away in may
