Easyriders was my mag of choice in the 70/80s. Gave up my script when they sold their souls to the corporate devils.

Guess it bit my butt to read through this thread and see someone with with 12 posts come out like a bad *** and attack someone who I have a great deal of respect for. I have met Twizted in person and talked to him on several occasions. He is very knowledgeable and carries a lot of credibility in my books. Sometimes people should have big ears and a little mouth before they go off on a direct assault on someone they know next to nothing about.

Guess it is my way of introducing DeadFred to the rest of the forum members. Who knows, he might even be a nice person and just needs to scale it back a bit...

 

I remember the wiring giving me ten times more trouble back then, and now there's ten times more wires.
Girls wanted to ride with you as long as you didn't go anywhere their daddy would see them.
Lot more virgins then.

 

Whats that olde saying "put your brain in gear before engaging mouth".. keeps your teeth in their proper place....

 

Whats funny and didnt happen to me but a buddy of mine. "Red" the local law was training a FNG and pulled my buddy over because he knew what he had and read him the riot act and just short of throwing the chrome bracelets on him took his stuff and went on there way. Buddy had to stop by Reds place to get his stuff back minus a little!

 

Well.. tell ya what.. I'm not an old school harley guy.. I grew up on metrics.. dirt bikes, cafe bikes, sport bikes, racing, whatever.. I came over to the "dark side" 10 or so years.. so I make no claim of bein' an old time, life long HD guy.. none the less and not that Twisted needs the help, but newb, you got it wrong.. TB is the real deal. If you stop talking s**t and pay attention, you'll find that out. My guess is, TB would be one the best guys on this board to go have a beer or 3 with.. Sure he has his opinions.. but what, like you don't?.. as for meeting him behind the bar.. Gotta tell ya bro.. my money wouldn't be on you.. just saying.. Cheers TB..

Thank you for the straight talk. I was in high school in the 70's but from what I remember about the older guy's and then riding in the beginning of the 80's it was just as you say.
