I had an Iverson Charger sting ray bike as a young teen, and it was the most fun I've ever had on a bike.

I rode the heck out of that thing everyday, all day, and it never let me down. If the fit an finish was bad, who knew and who cared back then, it looked cool. We were kids and customizing your stingray was all the rage. I added a way cool sissy bar and bar grips with streamers(ok, the streamers were a bit much I admit!) Yeah, it weighed a metric ton and a half, but I had good legs back then, so again, who cared? It was about the adventures that a stingray bike could bring you to and how cool it looked and the Charger did look pretty cool.


Thanks @theicon1 for bringing your fathers story to us. His company filled an important niche for kids and families with little money...
