Back in the 1970s we would ride our bikes down rocky roads, thru ditches and up hills. We didn't worry about a rock chip or a ding or dust. Ride hard, hose it off, clean it good once a year.Check Gas, oil, tires and chain, good to go. Carried a siphon hose, never had to pay for gas. No sissy bar, chicks had to hang on tight. Leave the keys in the bike, if you can start it you can steal it. Carried extra plugs, points and oil, always made it home. A do rag was to wipe oil off your hands not wear on your head. Bikers had the best weed and acid and speed. $5. nickle bags. Tripping on your bike did not mean cross country. WOW any one remember doing that. In HIGH School WE were the Bad Boys, Heads,Freaks and Bikers = Lots o Chicks. Man those were great daze. Good thread, Memories of a decade in the last century. Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll and Motorcycles. We are history. Fist in the air.

Might be at that, but lookin' again, might just be a Triumph, like maybe a '75 Trident or some such- up swept muffler looks like one. ( Suzuki in the '70s, brings back bad memory of GT500...). Cool vid, miss those Hippie chicks more than I miss '70s era cycles, dats fer sure.
