Ha! forgot about this. . . Old guy in blazer's name is attached to both car AND bike:
The "boy" who drew this pic helped create BMX freestyle, started his own BMX accessories co., started his own bike co., sold it and became independantly wealthy.
Now he is CO of a major motorsport/powersport marketing and graphic design specializing in what he calls "Performance Branding"

SWMBO is even on board with a giant step van sitting in the driveway being dismantled for parts harvesting. 
I had to pinch myself.

Keith, that's a perfect description of the coveted Schwinn Mag Scrambler:
Love me some mid school mtb stuff. What was your ride there?
Australian department store for the BMX, I'll have to dig deep into the memory banks to come up with a name. Not a Schwinn. But paint it blue and that's pretty much what we're talking.
The mountain bike in the pic is a 1989 Fisher AL-1. Interesting bike, Fisher was playing with different design features. It had fewer spokes than usual (32 vs the more common 36, IIRC), a very oversized bottom bracket, big headset, big tubes, etc. The seat post had a pump built into it, and the rear derailleur was short so that you'd damage it if you didn't pay attention to your gear combinations. I literally rode it all over the world - the French Alps, Australia and up in the Canadian arctic.
This one doesn't have the cool seat post pump. It was actually really handy. Mine was green, and was stolen in around 1997 or so. I replaced it with a Specialized Stumpjumper rigid.
