This is a picture of me from my high school year book, I was 17. Back when parts were cheap, there was no NOS just NEW. New pipes Bill Wiggles (wirges) Wiseco's and a buddy did the porting and polishing. Apollo moon mission helmet, long hair like a girl and a bag of weed in my sock. Those were the days...If i had a cape i'd look alot like Evel...  |

Ha Nice one.. that could pretty much be me except there were red flames on black paint, and the pipes were J&R.
Right in front of your high school too. ;D ;D

I was doin that in '71 in high school and my hair was 3/4 of the way to my waist. What a mess brushing it after a ride eh? LOL Used to keep it tucked inside my jacket most time. Oh, and I usually kept my bag in the pants pocket, had it blow out of the sock once, never again. ;D Did the odd wheelie now and again as well. Wasnt life great then?  Gas 3 gallons for a buck. A fella could ride all week for 2-3 bucks. A lot of miles too. Gotta stop now, gettin teary eyed..... III |

Started out riding a 60 cc Yamaha mini bike in the early 70 ts then I bought a 100 Hodaka Combat Wombat off my best friend . By 1974 I bought a 175 Kawi Trials bike . 1975 I bought my triple and had only shoulder length hair as priar to that it was hitting my a$$ . Not good for riding LOL ! I will not be having long hair again . |
