I've just been reading the article about the stolen 65 Bus that was found after 35 years.

first year of college. Drove a 59 bug and a kawasaki 500 mach III. Most of the 70's and quite a bit of the 80's are a little hazy to me.

I was in highschool and I road a 1964 Honda CL72. I had the oldest and most beat up bike at my school but it was mine. Back then I could only dream about owning a bug...
What sucks about that story is the insurance company is getting it and will sell it at auction for top dollar...

As I recall, I was vacationing in Spokane, Washington... I spent most of my time drunk off my ass, but I do remember this one fun night when me and a couple of my friends spotted a 65 VW hippy bus sitting in the dark of the night, and we decided to hotwire it and take it out for a joyride....

Nah, in 74 I was wetting my diapers and eating sand.
I'd been out of high school a year and was driving a hand-me-down from my father (and Oldsmobile F-85). I'd buy my first VW, a 1964 bug, a year later.

I was driving a yellow deuce coupe in Visalia and taking on all comers. The jawing with my nemesis Bob Falfa starts 1:00 minute into the video.

John Milner (My computer is in the shop so I am using Randall's) P.S. It is an urban legend that I was killed in a head-on collision with a drunk driver on a rural road on New Year's Eve 1965. That actually happened to some wannabe named John Miller. The Toad sends his regards.
And 35 years from now, we'll be right back where we started. :P
