I think the most important thing is that OP has been on here every day since he started this thread, but hasn't posted a SINGLE thing since ate his own shoes.....this makes me laugh since the last thing he said was ranting about what a real-life badass he must be compared to others here (esp Twizted).
Now he's having to read how he only managed to embarrass himself and doesn't know what to say for himself after 48 hours of us laughing at him.

well because of the more user friendly bikes there are people now that ride and don't need the mechanical knowledge that we did back then even little things like chain adjustments,changing tires wheel bearings,and even a simple valve job,,,another thing is the aftermarket parts offered today,doing away with alot of the fabrication of parts,,,,,and the clothes offered,man i had a leather jacket and long johns,,,i don't even remeber seeing a pair of chaps till 76,,,,,the way we are treated by the dealers,,,back then the mechanic would explain and show you what was going on,,,,now the bike is locked up in some space where the insurance gods certainly wouldn't give the dealership permission to let some idiot back there to see whats happening,,,,and you used to deal with the owner of the franchise,,,helll they were so close to going out of business the just about kissed your ***,,,,the sad part is some of the same guys own the same franchises today and couldn't care less if you bought a bike or not,,,,,harleys cuctomer service sucks today,but thats true of about 75 % of us companies....years ago you couldn't just walk in any bar or resturaunt and expect to get served,,,,we dont allow leather jackets,,,,,get the bike outta the parking lot,,,it leaks oil all over...now holy **** bars ,dealers ,resturaunts all want u there...i'll think of some more but thats the basics,,,,,but damn i couldnt ride my shovel 800 miles in a day,,,,my glide eats the road,,,what a beautiful thing

As for Twizted....meh, his head is maxed out & unlivable already.
His post count has been 12 since I first saw this thread, just after his last post to it.

Crosstops and Coors, weed and a running shovel. Ride out the coast to get away from the heat. Worst you could get were some crabs, or if you were real unlucky the clap.
Police rigs on resale in front of Dudley-Perkins were cheap. No helmets in the early 70s. The music was better and people were not stupid enough to call out folks they didn't know, at least not in public...

Wow, 25 + pages!
just another 2 cents here, You had to know how to turn a wrench.
And you where taught to say nothing but see and her everything, (Respect)
The Best was the knowledge about the special pull or button on the soda machine!!
Thank you Gypsylady that brings back some long forgotten memories,
With that was the feeling when you were trusted with the keys to the soda machine
to fetch a few, And or to lock the shop or station when you where done. Trust
Respect & Trust meant something
no such thing as a CC you had a page in a hard bound book and the account was always kept up to date when you made good on the account it always went hand in hand with a few cold ones that where shared or a smoke.
