It is a fun piece, how long before someone gets upset none of the pictures show these fellas wearing helmets?
Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but how many times you have your breath taken away

back then we were not required to wear helmets ...

...I couldn't help myself from stopping a young boy on a customised 26 inch rear, 24 inch front, extended forks, banana seated, ape hangered push bike a few days ago, to give him the thumbs up...it was his dads bike and now it was his...he had a big bemused smile when he rode off...

Yep, remember that well, helmets and safety clothing was a luxury option back in the 60's
Just jeans and a tee shirt were pretty much the norm with an old leather jacket on long rides.
Somehow I survived those time without any battlescars.
Remember these?

...even an old leather jacket was luxury...a cut off denim jacket over a 'windbreaker', was as close as it got...I still carry a couple of the battlescars that something better than a pair of jeans may have prevented...didn't even occur as a fleeting thought that there was a better way...

certainly do ... I never had the pudding basin, but I did have the flying goggles ..

I met a few of these guys while out for a ride once...
Bloody awesome.... More awesome in real life...
I had a 5T with 12" overs early / mid 70's but hated the way it didn't handle so went the bobber route... As others have intimated I spent money on paint so there was nothing left for flash shit like leather...

I got into an embarrassing situation at my boss's birthday party once when he caught me upstairs having sex with his teenage daughter. "Well, this is awkward," I said. "Like one of those saucy movies starring Sid James."
He said, "Carry On?"
I said, "Thank you very much."
One hell of a ride.
