Brian has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default

A part of me died. This guy was a god.
My little bro and I got the wind up motorcycle for xmas one year. We found where they hid it and we would get it out and play with it if mom ran somewhere on an errand.

This was probably the finest toy I received as a lad.
I made a ramp, put all the fisher price cars and endlessly jumped the hero over them. My brother and I would experiment with ramp elevation to get the optimal distance from a jump. Even thought about how to make a flaming hoop, but luckily never built it.
Then of course, dual ramps, me on one, my brother on the other, and try to get the timing right to have a mid air collision.

boy, they don't make toys like that anymore.
