I was in Detroit Saturday and this bike was on the wall at TGI Fridays; I Just thought it was cool. (oops I think its a Diamondback, picture is small)

Bags1
Couple of eBay dreams on that wall. The bike and the Millinium Falcon.
Bill Hayden
The one by Dayton Ohio, had a Torker on the wall
Big Knobby
The one in Watertown, NY has a mint DB on the wall, too (along with ET Kuwahara poster and 'Bike Jump' warning sign).

The one here in Albany has a Ross. Yuck. It always seems that ANY other Friday's I visit has a sweet Motomag or DB or Redline. I have often thought of ripping the huge foam Gumby off the wall....but then I come to my senses.

LOL, if you only knew how this topic has been bandied about on this forum over the years...

But it's nice to get an update on the bikes...we're all kind of wondering where they'll go when the TGI stores redecorate again.
cheez
Yeah it's been a while since we had a TGI Fridays BMX thread.

Who's up for a Rye AZ BMX grail thread?

There is nothing cool about T.G.I.Friday's hanging BMX bikes on their walls.

In fact, there's nothing cool about T.G.I.Friday's, period!

I once got kicked out of a TGI Friday's.

I'm pretty laid back, but after it took about 40 min to get an salad, on a not so very busy night, I walked back into the Kitchen unannouced and put an apron on, and yelled, alright guy's and gal's the man is here and he is going to show you A$$ holes how this kitchen thing works,

it was all their fault they gave me forty minutes to drink while i was waiting on my food..


I'm going back there to see if there are any bikes on the wall, and to see if the service got any better,

It was a 'she' and TGIF would just come up **** when you typed it..


LOL

What was her name? Huntcart or something?

vonmark01
id get a shirt made that said tgi friday and pretend to work for corprate. start replacing the good ones with next bikes ......but if one of them fell someone is dying.
dion
first would be the sting
svt_pony
The name was Huntcart on ebay. And everyone's main grip was the way the hired contractor's just drilled anywhere and everywhere to hang up the bikes. She did join here to defend her actions...... and got hammered pretty bad.

Most were concernced with how the bikes were damaged to be hung, and what would happen to them after a new interior design change. Would they be thrown in the trash?? ect.

I haven't been in the TGIF's in Hilliard in a few years, but they had a black Kuwahara on the wall with a screw drilled into the Maxy Cross pedal area, and a few through the Araya rims.....

We all survived, and still love bikes. It's all good.

Like I said I never post on Vintage BMX Racing, now I know why. You guys get to worked up over a simple thread. I was just trying to show what I thought was a cool pick; had I known how sensitive you guys were I would have reserved my pic. I will stick to BMX Racing threads where people live in the present and not dwell on the past wink.gif

The more I see these TGIF pics of bikes hanging on the wall, the more stupid the displays look.

Just looks like a bunch of cr a p nailed to a wall. The fact that they want to use old bikes is neat...but geez, clean up the look a bit so it doesn't appear to be a snapshot of someones "storage room".

Just looks totally outdated to me.

There was also this cool poster I wanted to take off the wall and give to Paul Smith.
