He always put such convoluted meaning to every story. 29 bikes for 29 days. So awesome.

These are the stories I've subscribed for TRAVIS BELL, YOURE THE MAN

I love the way Travis tells these stories... with all of the "allegedly", "maybe", and "possibly" qualifying terms intact! Being from a small town with parents who were just as invested in not being embarrassed as they were in raising their son in a responsible way, I could not get away with anything (which probably kept me out of a lot of trouble)! There were times when I would do "something stupid" while driving my 1959 Chevy Bel Air around town, and by the time I got home my mother already knew what I had done... due to an extremely competent network of "Mom's friends" (aka: "little birds")! Couple that with the police departments in our town and the larger nearby city knowing my Dad personally, and I was doomed to a life of compliance and abiding by the law!

Travis Bell, speaks very well. I love this guys stories. All of the Vin Wiki's family stories actually. Basically every morning. Its youtube, shower, then work.

Same. But I usually just get stuck on KZread until sunset and then scramble to work last minute. Yay self-employment and ADHD

Papa John's pre and post papa just ain't the same 😔

Travis I feel your pain brother. I am a legitimate red headed step child. In my high-school there were 2 red heads. A 5 foot 100lb kid and me, a 6' 225lb asshole. Whenever people were questioned as to who was involved whenever they said "the big red headed guy" they knew exactly who was being talked about. I am so glad none of my boys have red hair

It takes someone with a lot of character to speak about what they've done wrong in life so openly. I have a lot of respect for Travis.

Got hit a few years ago by a Papa John’s driver in Indianapolis. Thing was, the driver wasn’t even in the car. She didn’t set the parking brake. Talk about a headache. She didn’t have the proper insurance and Papa John’s was absolutely no help.

Different side of Travis....Glad how it turned out to be for him !

It was a pleasure to meet you and Rob and the rest of your team. We really had a great time doing burnouts and sitting at the VIP TENT.

Free enterprising was a right of passage in my parts. The only variant was what kind of wares on offered.

I've noticed that there's a growing trend of teenage boys who have no interest in getting their DL and first car. For 45 year old me, I can't imagine not desiring one of the first milestones of freedom and to becoming an adult. It's one of those things that still stands with me after all these years. I guess it's a sign of the changing times.

It’s actually a good thing, the kids have more social freedom to be true to themselves and still be accepted in social circles, especially by the opposite sex. Back in the day you needed a licence and a car or you weren’t cool. There were probably loads of kids back then who had no interest in cars or driving but did it anyway to look cool and mature because that was expected. Nowadays they don’t seem to feel that peer pressure so much. There’s also that cars were a form of escapism, freedom to get away from your awful strict old fashioned parents and go exploring with your friends as soon as you got the chance. These days many kids are staying at home much longer and have a lot less to rebel against, so it makes sense.

You like donutmedia, huh? And shit I dont get why kids dont like it. I was the kid would take the car at 14 to drive my friends home from school or to am/pm. My family didnt give a shit because I was safe out of fear of being assraped by the law and a good driver since my grandpa taught me when I was 10 so if he had a heart attack I could drive him to the hospital. Its ironic I love cars so much but I cant drive them comfortably anymore due to a disability, god has a sick sense of humor

This man went to school 15 mins away from where I live. I took my driver ed classes at his school almost a year ago. crazy

Shout out to Greenwood, IN! I graduated from Center Grove Travis, but my dad lived right next to Perry Meridian HS (mom still lives there in Center Grove). I also delivered pizzas and a little hell raiser. Kindred spirits.

Great Story ! I do wonder how the violation(s) were deemed a Felony. Being a teen in the early '70's was a lot looser. If I'd have been a teen in the '80's I'd have been locked up as well.

That skateboard at the end is badass

When I was in junior high at 3am one morning one of my friends and I put a tree on the 50 yard line of the football field at our school, we put it 5 feet in the ground and it was 18 feet tall total, the groundskeeper dudes chainsawed it down before the football game the next day.

This is great man - I put myself through college in the 90s delivering for Pizza Hut - all in A1 Chassis VWs (the diesel Rabbit Truck with a topper and a carpeted bed shelf was the BEST money maker). Got called at my work one day by State Farm telling me my insurance was cancelled because they figured out I was delivering :D

Best story in a while. Kept it coming!

Great honesty my friend!!!

Great story, great sense of humour, rock on dude!

It's a bit interesting to be telling stories of all these decisions that even the story teller says were dumb, but then still makes fun of his son for what decides to do with his time not making trouble.

This man serious about some insurance 😂

We have 2 daughter's and 64.8 acre's of land in Northeast Ohio and I cant get my youngest to go outside let alone move from the computer. My oldest is down to go outside and do whatever.

That was a damn good story. Glad I checked this one out.

I have to say that Travis pitts and Ed are my favorite story tellers. Keep them coming guys

This is awesome I live about 30 minutes from greenwood and work in Indianapolis it's nice to hear stories that I can picture in my head because I know the area

We stole perry meridians rock. Everyone used to paint it. We stole it.

I did a 90ft burnout and got a $300 ticket in that parking lot at Perry. Longest burnout in their schools history. I didnt even school there.

Man if I hear my dad say stuff like that about me as a kid it probably woulda messed me up. “You can’t choose your kids”, talkin like he wishes his daughter was his son too 🤦‍♂️

Travis, my storyteller of the year 2021!

My love of wheels came from my youth too, except I did aggressive inline! Driving illegally and renting a lockup to store the cars in, or buying cars from people’s front gardens back when they weren’t worth scrapping! We skated on the roof of a school, got tows from our friends in cars, skated in the city centres and supermarkets, great times great memories lol

You may not remember me but I remember you..😂😂 I went to Pike... got some "Pizza" from you... Was one of the Broad Ripple/Downtown Skater Punks... I saw your pictures and had flash backs. 😂😂😂

I love that the Image of the Auto Trader they show is for my area/market. Lol. Anyway, another great story from Travis. Man, I wish I could experienced just a quarter of the stories he's told. Epic story teller and an epic guy. 👍

Hat’s off best video of 2021

Great story!! Thanks from a fellow Hoosier kid who may have allegedly pulled a few dumb shenanigans when he was in his mid to late teens!

I grew up and lived In New England and we had The Bargain News it came out every Thursday and that was best way to buy and sell pretty much anything. I remember my dad picking on up every Thursday morning and he would go through and make calls for times to go look at what he wanted over the coming weekend. I bought my first dirt bikes and cars out of it when I was very young

The last float sounds like a great idea.

Love it! Great story!

Main theme of this video: No regrets

Wishing I was part of FoL. These stories have such a wholesome vibe. Kudos to Ed and the gang.

Hey, I have a Schwin Predator buried in the back corner of my garage... ...but its grey.

After watching this I sat for a few minutes and pondered what I had just heard. Yep yep that whole thing made completely perfect sense to me. Ed: "I had met Travis Bell many many years ago when he,shall we say,shrewdly negotiated my lunch money out of me in middle school".

The 3rd person story telling is great 😂😂

I remember that bike. I got a Pink GT Perfermomer and a Diamondback Silverstreak in the late 80's. Was a pre-teen and couldn't drive. So BMX bikes were my favorite thing ever back then.

Love the "I may have" and "may have happened" :)

This guy really misses his hair.

Thanks for sharing friend. It took me a long time to learn, it's hard to fly with the Eagles if your surrounded by turkeys.....

Everybody knows to repaint a bike after you steal it

"Perminantly borrowed it from somebody" lol 😂

this sounds like it should be made into a movie
