@SYKaren LMAO looking at the video I pictured it being taft Ca.it may have used to be a bitchin' place to grow up 25 years ago but not now that the speed meth tweekers have taking over , no one could pay me to live there !
hat's off to mike ! the one handed wheelie master !
Sorry Rick, don't know the Barham's. That video was done around 1985 or so at end of A Street. My brother Mike no longer lives in Taft nor do I although I have good friends there and visit a couple of times a year. Taft was a great place to grow up in the 70's and 80's. Louis Kranyak
Your brother sure had some big balls to do that as well as he did! I could wheelie with the best of them back in the 70's, but I never did it with only one hand! Awesome!
Actually, Mike is my younger brother and even though he's in his fifties I would say he could still do it. He rides motocross regularly and is an excellent rider. Louis Kranyak
Taft was pretty cool in the 1970s....

@SYKaren Yes, It was! Sadly, I do believe it has lost most of it's luster!
