Why Mr Pepsi, I collect Pepsi items. I have really slowed in my acquisition though. I was a passenger for the first time on a motorcycle before I turned one year old so so I'm told. I rode my first one at the age of 5. I was born and raised in the Portland area of the wonderful Pacific Northwest. From the age of 3 months until I was around 19, my parents owned five acres of woods in Klickitat county Washington. Around here (http://goo.gl/maps/FzkTv). This is where I learned how to ride. Every weekend my family would drive up for the weekend. By 1980 we had a large mobile home placed there. I rode to my hearts content.
Started out on a Honda 50, then an XR75, then an XR200. I didn't get my first street bike until I was around 21. Those were a 1986 Kawi Ninja 600, 92 ZX6e, 94 ZX6e, '75 Honda Goldwing, '92 BMW K75, another '94 ZX6e, then Ruby a 1988 Concours. Then Razzi, my 2009 C-14.
Moved from Portland to the San Francisco bay area in 1999. Been married twice, no kids.
I work for the fourth largest cell phone carrier in the US and I am in IT, as many of us are.
I love animals and help out many local rescues here and across the US. I have three cats and one dog, all rescues.
Welcome to my playhouse.

Hey Brent!
I been meaning to ask if you have one of these. My mom's uncle worked for Pepsi in Alexandria, VA and gave theis AM radio to me as a very young kid. I still have it in a box some where but don't remember the carry strap. It should still play and is all there.

Oh yeah - Welcome!

I have a couple Pepsi radios but they are pretty recent. Never even seen one of those, that is pretty darn cool!

Mr. P. You forgot to ask how much he wants for it. :finger_fing11:

LOL, I have really slowed down in my purchases, even toyed with the idea of selling the collection. Besides, he acquired it from his family, so its best left with him. ;D But yeah.

Ding, Ding, Ding!
Actually i'm not sure if I want to sell it anyway (hoarder). It seems they sell for about $50 to $200. I went to Bing images http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pepsi+radio&qs=AS&sk=&FORM=QBIR&pq=pepsi%20radio&sc=8-11&sp=1&qs=AS&sk (http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pepsi+radio&qs=AS&sk=&FORM=QBIR&pq=pepsi%20radio&sc=8-11&sp=1&qs=AS&sk) and found a few pix that take you auctions or blogs (same place I found the museum). Interested, make me an offer and i'll go dig it up.
