Brian Hays replied to bobafett's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
So when was the bulldog stamped Pro Neck released? -
Greg Hill’s first GHP 24” cruiser prototype
Brian Hays replied to TrulyOdd's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Yes VDC made all of the Star and GHP frames from 1982-1985. At the end of 85 when Voris sold the production division of VDC, Greg pulled the plug because the frames sucked and went to Asia for production. Those can be differentiated by the serial being on the BB instead of the dropout. Greg also said that he put the 85 decals on this replacing the 84 style decals. -
The site is fixed at last...
Brian Hays replied to S.Brothers's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Step up guys. This place DOES NOT run itself. Remember that the traffic here may not be high like the beautiful pre Facebook world but it still costs alot of money to maintain this site so that ALL the info stored here is still accessible to ALL of us. Dont be cheap. 99% of us waste $40 everytime we leave the house. Pay some money and help the site and Steve directly!!! I'm NOT asking. -
Yep!! I remember that being on Ebay with that pic forever but he wouldn't ship, if I remember right. I had also bought a new 2007 retro when they came out and wish I had never sold it too.

So I started my racing career at age 49
Brian Hays replied to Brian Hays's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
MaGoo, I sure will!! You are soooo right about the speed. I hadn't said anything here but I wiped out hard in turn 2 at practice a couple weeks ago. Riding hard, was too low going into the turn, front tire got in the damp stuff from the rain the day before. My smooth V tires got coated in sandy dirt and the front end washed out up the blacktop berm and I went down hard. Tore up my new helmet and my body. Multiple trips to the chyro to fix my back and a week and a half off from riding. Had to buy another new helmet. Speed was there. Talent was lacking. -

Another great night of racing at Springfield. White puffy clouds in the sky and 70 degrees. Our third race. I got third all three motos and Melissa got fourth. The kicker is that she is now riding her GHP cruiser instead of her 20" Chase and I literally only beat her by inches all three motos. I had to pedal my ass off on the last straight to stay in front of her. She is improving leaps and bounds. The T.O. took a bunch of pics tonight. I'm 934 and she is 933. We are also going to another track about 1.5 hours away to race their opening night tomorrow ( been rained out three weeks in a row). We are both finally adjusting to the new track build and I'm starting to like it. OH and on a total surprising STUNNING note, my wife and I will both be riding wearing jerseys and pants just like these in the pic below starting next week as we have been asked to join and ride for the Ace Bike Shop race team!!! The two head guys from the team told us that we both need to be representing their shop and would we like to join. We were speechless. Ace Bike Shop in Springfield has been in business since 1957 and has always been owned by one family. Ace has also had a very tight relationship with Sprigfield BMX Race Track every year since 1978 through 2021 and counting. The shop even has it's own oldschool BMX collection room with bikes and jerseys from all the years span as well as stacks of photo albums from races from 78 on. GREAT GREAT BMX specific bike shop. Been a great day, guys!! The team manager, Jeff said us being out there racing each other at our age is cool and Ace wants us to be part of the team. -

Top pic is a week ago Fri doing warm up laps. I wasn't able to race Fri because of work but Melissa rode and got 3rd on her GHP cruiser I built for her. -

Cool photo I wanted to share.

Very cool stuff!!! Love it. -
As I've said 8 million times, PK serial numbers mean jack shit. If it was a 79-84 looptail then the serial will tell you what year but nothing else. 1985 frames had a one year only serial sequence so it's easy. 1986-1999 PK frames all had serials PKxxxx. These meant absolutely nothing. They were pre stamped dropouts thrown in a box. Post a pic of the frame and I can give you a year range but noone can tell you an exact year by a serial number.
