Way way way more fun in the 70's. Plus, since there were fewer bikers there were more women per biker.... Plus most women weren't afraid of motorcycles like they are now.Plus the police were more tolerant back then. The things I got caught doing on a motorcycle in the 70's and let go with a stern warning would easily have landed me in jail today.

I'd rather ride a 500cc Honda back then than a 1700cc Harley today. Way more fun.

In the 70's I road Japanese bikes.
Now I'm a lot smarter.

Me too, but I also have the resources to buy the Harley now.

70's were cool, lots of Brit bikes,tirumphs, Bsa, Nortons, nobody said you rode a womans bike if you rode a sporty. less tickets and more warnings, time have changed.

I know Twizted may come off that way, but not even have met him, I'm pretty sure poser is the last word I'd use to describe him. LOL I could be wrong, but I'm just sayin'.
