Default 40 years back to the future: recreation photo

My sister was visiting this past week, so we thought we'd have some fun recreating a modern day version of a 1972 photo of us on my old '69 Honda 350 Scrambler.

Sis hasn't changed much in 40 years, but too many green corn tamales and beers for me over the years.

Nice picture. I'd frame them together.

That's awesome! As stated, you need to frame them both side by side.

Great pics Steve. If you sat on that old CL350 now, it would feel like a toy bicycle.

Time and gravity are not my friends.

Yep, the newer bike is about 500 pounds heavier . . . and so am I.
