'74 was actually a good year, at least for me. I was in 8th grade at 13, had a Honda CT70 and a Sheridan Blue Streak air rifle, and the top 40 music was actually very good still. Girls wore painted on jeans and had feathered hair and guys wore down puffer jackets and timberline hiking boots. Everybody played with Clackers. The Disco Malaise had not quite set in yet.

![]() At 13, I also had a bolt action .22LR for plinking, a 20 gauge pump for birds, and a Marlin .35 REM for deer. Still have the real guns, but I don't know what ever happened to the BB gun. |

Like I said, I can't recall whatever happened to my old Daisy, but I replaced it many years later with a Beeman R1. Fully adjustable Rekord trigger and a 3x9 scope. I use it for crows in my gardens. Leaves exit wounds. Takes more than 50 pounds to cock it though. Stock photo. |

A friend has an R-1, and it packs much more punch, but the 124 was the first 'magnum' air rifle. The Magnum is also huge in comparison!! BTW, Robert Beeman and his wife were very nice, helpful, and cool people. |

Streaking ? That is what makes umpires blind...
And its not being uptight to want to take your young son or daughter to a sporting event and not have to see some jerk-off's equipment on full display. WTF ? How many times have you wished you were on Jeffery Toobin's Zoom call ? |

In the '70's, I bought a black and chrome '63 Honda 150 dream that was nice and original. White wall tires, square headlight, plastic registration tube on the rear fender. Everything worked. Of course, I put straight pipes on it and it sounded like a BSA 650. It had a top speed of about 60 mph. Months went by and it made a lot of noise and lost a lot of power. I kept riding it. About a week later, it blew the broken con rod through the front of the crankcase. I sold it to a collector blown up, for the same price I paid for it....$50.

I can't say. Now if you meat "garage", I'm still working on my 74 Fiat Spider. Got on the far, far back burner for the last two years. It's 95% done electrically, runs and stops. I mainly need to install seat belts, then the interior. |
