Muscle Bikes

[Steve McDonald Formally known as Mcdonas]

Here's my Muscle Bike
Purchased April 1975, in September 77 it's had 29,000 miles on it, now has 31,000
Not the typical bike you're talking about but when it was new it was one of the fastest production motorcycles ever made

This Huffy is very close to what I had, except mine was red (including the fenders), and the chain guard was larger. The name 'Hitch Hiker' was in black letters with the thumb up logo.

Alright alright alright,  you had me thinking a lot so I contacted a buddy of mine who has  a bike shop.  Mike says the only HITCHHIKER name he has ever come across was a Schwinn monstrosity that you would hook up to a normal bike and turn it into a tandem or a two seater bike

Ruuuuuuuun !

Sorry, no. It WAS a Huffy 'HitchHiker'. Like I mentioned, I never seen another one like it. 'Maybe' it was a California only regional promotional special(?). Whatever the case, I know what I had. My parents bought it for me around 1972-'73 (when I was 5-6 years old), and it was stolen around 1975-'76.

crossboss, that sounds like it would have been a cool ride !

There are a number of forums out there on this type of  bike, here's one on Schwinns, they might come up with something.

We have consulted with the world renowned Doctor. Francis Tumblety    , PhD, who is a professor of psychology at Falafala College and a licensed psychologist. Dr Tumblety believes you may be suffering from a case of "french vanilla nostalgia ala venti" where one think someting happened but it did not.

Our further research shows that the only "HITCHHIKER" found in the 72 73 era was an exquisite film by that name but certainly, no HUFFY bike


Thanks for giving us a time line on your age 55/56 as my buddy Mike had placed you as a child of the early 1900s thinking you rode one of these bikes possibly a HITCHHIKER.....

A swarm of Schwinns

Not sure if these have been here before ?

Are they Harley Davidson or Evil Knievel versions ? Also a '67 ? Buick Riviera in back.
