I wonder how he died? Must have gotten an infected paper cut or something.

I had a Huffy bike that got stolen that was Evil. I had the pull strip little motorcycle that I'd bang all off the furniture too. Mom hated it. I wish I still had that toy!

I used to have his stunt motorcycle that you put on a stand, spun this handle on the side fast as hell and when you stopped the bike would rocket out of the stand across the ground. You could do all sorts of cool tricks too, like making it do wheelies and jumps. That bike in my sand pit had tons of fun.

Here's a reproduction:
