It doesn't matter what brand or style you ride,,,,,,,,, there's probably few that can hold a candle to these guys!

A TDR member had posted this link and it reminded me of the stories that Dad and his buddies have talked about from their younger years. Dad started out riding Indians when he was 15 and he's 75 now and still riding. He's got a garage full of bikes from a loaded 1993 Anniversary Edition Electra Glide Ultra Classic with matching sidecar (only 11 made I think) to a Russian made Ural with sidecar, a 72 Harley Servi-car (last year for the 45 flathead), a 89 Electra Glide Ultra Classic solo, a 64 Honda 305 Dream, a couple of 60's 250 Sprints (Thumper motors) and a slew of mid 70's 2-strokers that Harley put their name on. One of them is my first motorcycle, a 1975 XS-175 Harley that he has fully restored. The 77 Electra Glide Classic that I have now is one that he bought new and I bought from him in 93 so we could ride to the 90th Anniversary Harley Reunion in Milwaukee. That was a ride neither of us will ever forget!

Hope you folks enjoy the pics!

 

really Cool Pic's

 

All I can say is WOW!!! They rode in places that I have heard guys wine about, while straddle a CR500 in a crosscountry race, It has been about 9 years since I gave up the crosscountry the last two was spent marshaling the course's and setting them up for the race and I have personaly had to listen to a bunch of whinning about trails like your dad and his buddys were enjoying, Thanks allot I really enjoyed those photos,they were a adventerous group for sure. Thanks again, Rick

 

I can remember riding on and seeing pictures of my Uncles old Indian and Harley's back in the early 50's. He used to travel from Texas to Missouri with my Aunt and their baby in his side-car.

I would think that Harley-Davidson would like to have some of those pictures for their musem.

Great Post,

You should do the biker community a favor and send copies to easyrider or another major publication. If it were up to me I would dedicate a whole mag to them. They are true bikers as it was. I wish I had a poster of each pic for my shop!!!!!! Incredible shots of real men on there scoots, not todays cheese ball wanna bees.

Apache.

 

Thats really cool! My grand dad just gave me a bunch of old old photo albums. Great holidays! For sure!

 

Nice pics. Enjoyed looking at them. Makes me want to get another bike.

 

That's it! I'm movin' back home to Texas so I don't have to put mine up for the winter.
