I too turned the Big Wheel upside down and made ice cream. I wrote an essay on the subject, but still haven’t come up with a satisfactory reason as to why! You can read it at http://www.conversari.com/conversations_5-06.htm

I’m looking to buy a Knight Rider or Transformer big wheel. If anyone has one they would like to sell, please e-mail me.
My e-mail is runnergirl57@yahoo.com
Thank you.

Hey everyone…

Did anyone else ever flip their big wheel upside down and spin the pedals while saying, “ice cream, ice cream!” ???

hugs & kisses,

I had both the Dukes of Hazard "general Lee" Big Wheel and the Knight Rider "K.I.T.T." big wheel between 1982-1984. I tore the heck out the General Lee version going "off-road" with it alot, so It was trashed, & some one stole the K.I.T.T. big wheel. If I could ever get "K.I.T.T." back I'd save it as a collectable until I ever have a son

proof that i am indeed turning into my mother — i feel compelled to say: they don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Seems little brother doesn’t want to remember the GOD (Good old Days) of his childhood. Well, as long as your alive and doing the Blog Erik it is for ‘sure’ Matt’s adventures will live on.…and on.
Hey, remember the time you did the magic trick for Uncle Richie and almost made Matt’s thumb disappear, by cutting it off with a pair of sissors???

Sad, but it sort was pretty funny too!

The Cube was a favorite pastime, although solving it proved to be difficult. To this day I have never solved a Rubix Cube, and most likely never will. It’s just too fun removing the stickers and putting them all in place.

I’ve often thought about splurging for the keychain version, however. Then, if I’m ever caught in a blizzard, I’ll have something to occupy my time. That or I’m thinking a few Madlibs.

Wow, this article rocks. It had me remembering the big wheel all over again. I still think the best 80’s toy/momento is the rubiz cube.

Well, if you sell a sitcom with the ‘Karen the crack whore who stole my bike’.…I want 10% of the sale for ‘creative consulting / story idea’. As for your brother…don’t give him a damn thing, with exception to the other sitcom story line “I almost let my brother cut off his dinkie” story.…but that’s another day for storytime children.

Nice to see your brother is reading your site / blog…or is he running secret security checks via the Navy Warfare Dept…????

Love,
Dad (the keeper of the family stories)
