I got asked by the Easy Rider documentary crew to find some old bike pictures, and after a few days of digging through old boxes I managed to come up with some. I scanned em, and figgered I’d share.
Since motorcycles were invented it seems a certain few have gravitated toward them; I’m not sure why. “Freedom” always seems to be a little too cheap of an answer. I gotta think its deeper than that. I got no idea. I swear, there just may be a fucking biker Gene.
I always find it interesting to see why people ride, and ask the questions of why they connect with riding a two wheeled contraption that may become a magnetic force in their life. I’m not sure I’ve ever found the common denominator; All I know is if you love it, you’ll always love it. It ends up being a part of you. If you don’t, someone is gonna buy your bike with 800 miles on it out of your garage and make it his own, and you move on to other things….
Anyway, here’s some old pictures and such….
