Nice to see an old Stingray. Dig the streamers. Once a feature on pretty much everyone's bike. I learned to ride on a Stingray, one that belonged to my neighbor. Within about 5 minutes I was jumping it off an improvised motocross course. They were great for wheelies too. This probably explains the extra relaxed fork angle. It was the Evel Knievel era. In apparently a very common story, they were too rich for my blood too. A couple years later I got a "practical" POS 3 speed instead.
