"You know the rule.

Without pics, it never happened.

:)"

Sorry. That was the '70s. There weren't many pics, and those were left behind along with the rags. And truth is, if I had it to do again, I wouldn't. Not even going to post the motto here.

Well, there is the Triumph from nicer times a few years later--not bad times, really. I worked security in a club 'till late and drove school buses after work there. And there were some classes. I'll scan it in when time allows and get a free site to post it on.

"Not that anyone cares for “history”, these days, but, the original MCs rode more Limey bikes than Harleys.

A Triumph, Norton or a BSA was a righteous ride."

Before the '70s, maybe? I didn't know that and didn't see it, where I was. Triumphs were kinda rare where I was, except for a stock one here and there. There were lots of nerds on rice burners around the city, but we were snobs of a kind, too, you know.

I don't even think about those times often. "It never happened?" That would be nice. Little hint: I couldn't ride slow and easy, ever, or ride without it being a way of life.

Going for initial training later on (Army, for the Guard) was the next best thing I ever did. The best is trying to learn more about G-d and trying to live more right.

I love 60-70s era bikes.

The glory days of real choppers and those outrageous “sparkly” king and queen seats with the 4 foot tall sissy bars and big metal flake paint jobs.

If you have Netflix, search for “biker” and lots of the old exploitation movies show up like Devil’s Angels, etc.

Study the bikes and you’ll see a lot of Limeys.

In early MC culture, Brit bikes were considered entirely acceptable.

In some clubs, they still are.
