Delta trikes seem true old school to me. It's the go ped part that really kills any old school claim flat out. I'm over 40 so go peds seem modern.
I still don't have a cell phone, though I did for a little while several years ago. Dont need the bill or the brain radiated. I swear I could just feel the heat coming off them like microwaving my noggin. Maybe it's just a bit of paranoia, I'm kind of a tie dye shirt wearing personality though I've never worn a shirt like that, if you know what I'm getting at...
I'm with you, nwo - 55 myself, and I just got a tie-dyed shirt given to me last week - I like it!
Go-peds as manufactured mass market rigs are new, but my Dad and I built a stand up kick scooter into a "Go-Ped" when I was about six years old - I wore braces and couldn't ride a bicycle. Had a heck of a time convincing my Mom to let me ride it, and then after I crashed it trying to corner too fast one day I had a much worse time convincing her to let me rebuild it with Dad's help, and ride it again.
It was friction drive - an old Briggs engine with a caster wheel mounted on the shaft turning against the rear wheel, and a twist throttle off an old Cushman trailmaster. I had a lot of good times with that little beast, and if Mom knew some of the places I took it and situations I got into with it she'd have gone ballistic.
