does anyone remember the bike that sears use to sell called the allstate??? i have been looking for pics or info on them and its like they never were??? back in the 60s my neighboor had one and we rode the p!!! outa that thing, it was heavy but indistructable. had a spring seat on the back for the passenger with a big looping handle to hold onto. i think it was 175cc or 250 cant remember?? my neighber was 250lbs in 10th grade and that thing would haul him and i around like it was just me on it. it was his dads but we all used to ride it. the engine had a similer look to an ariel 4. it was one of the first bikes i ever rode. my friend recently passed away (600lbs heart attack, go figure) and i was talkin to his uncle ( who is a strick Triumph guy) first time i have talked to him in yrs, and i was telling him about my America and the passion i have for her, we talked about the new Rocket and he asked about my 72 and we got to talkin about that allstate and how his brother (my friends dad who passed many yrs ago) had let all us kids in the hood learn how to ride on that bike.
