I have to say that is impressive, and nostalgic! It's amazing how riding on average has changed! I get an unconscious urge to grab a toothbrush and kerosene while just looking at some of those pictures.
Thinking about it, in 30 + years the pictures I have of my riding, will seem quite trivial in comparison. They will still bring back the fond memories of biking and such related activities though.

Thanks Mike.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Fabulous - warmed the cockles of my heart and all that. Makes you realise how important it is to take photos of rides - at least when we become old farts we'll have something to be nostalgic about....

Brilliant. Of course, I did say in another thread that in the old days we did have it tough. Believe me now?![]()
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
That was from a couple of years ago,they were getting huge hits from it and membership just about doubled,it was all over the net.The Webers are cool dudes,they have made their own bike,ride trials bikes in their house and one rides a waterbucket.As for the previous generation,wow,they really got into it.

That was cool. How many harley guys would do that now?? Some of that would have made me think twice on my YZF...
Back in the early 70s we took a guy on an army Indian with us trail riding - in those days just a huge hunk of vacant land at St Johns,off Remuera rd,those were the days,off road riding in the inner city! He couldn't come with us through muddy creeks and steep hills,but just puttered about the paddocks - the foot clutch was a real problem,kinda hard to put your left foot down and work the clutch at the same time.Getting as seriously off road as those guys did with a foot clutch is pretty good going.
