Comment by AUDREY RAWLINGS ARENA on April 9, 2010 at 8:07am: Here's another shot of my dad, Jim. I think these old b&w photos would be good to hand tint and have as Artist Trading Cards. Since they were taken almost 60 years ago, the copyright wouldn't be a problem especially if I added to the photo with hand coloring. The color ones of my cousin on the nitro drag bike are from more recent photographers, so I wouldn't be able to use them. I like the old old carnival idea anyway, and I have alot of old photos that my dad left me. He passed away about 10 years ago, shortly after seeing his first great-grandchild. He died from lung cancer due to smoking. Clyde is only about 65 now and still around Fresno and elsewhere working on drag bikes and choppers. My mom sold the old orange shop after my dad died, but I enjoy talking about those days!

Comment by Rebecca Caraveo on April 7, 2010 at 5:37am: It's my childhood charm bracelet, I'm sure I remember where every single one of those came from. I bought the #1 as a pair of earrings and my sister and I both put them on our charm bracelets...the year I graduated from high school. I used to have a lot of friends who lived in that neighborhood back in the day, and I know you know, your dad is a legend. Look forward to meeting you in person!

Comment by AUDREY RAWLINGS ARENA on April 6, 2010 at 9:25am: Wow, that's amazing that you remember where you bought your charm, of course there weren't that many M.C. shops back then, and that shop was one of a kind! I think I'll post some photos of the old orange building on my page-thanks for sharing.

Comment by Rebecca Caraveo on April 6, 2010 at 5:06am: And Audrey, I have a charm on my childhood charm bracelet I bought at your dad's shop in 1975;) Harley #1
