Default Back in the 60's

My brother turn 65 recently and I turned 70 last week. When he was a young man back in the 60's, he rode Harley's. My other brother use to build Harley's for Angel's in his garage here in Bakersfield, CA. Here are a couple of photos of that time long since passed. Things have changed a lot in fifty years but riding and love of the machine has not. . Hey, all you young lions out there; enjoy your youth...it only comes once.

Just glad someone had the sense to shoot the photos and preserve them. Thanks for sharing. "Young man in the 60's" kinda hits a nerve.
