Old Photos

Netnorske · 02-15-2009, 09:01 PM

I thought it might be fun for anyone interested to post some old photos.

Every time I see Valdez' sig pic I tell myself to look back through my old photos to see if there are any good ones. Sorry to say there aren't many....but I did find a couple people might get a kick out of. They were both taken in either 1981 or 1982.

The first one is a pic of my old 1969 HD Sportster (albeit it a little out of focus). Notice the crossed flags I had painted on the tank....similar to what you see in my avatar!

The second one is of me (back when I actually had hair

)...and my bike behind me. You'll have to use your imagination as to what that could possibly be tightly pinched between my thumb and forefinger.... ;)!

Bosko,
Being a child of the '70's, it is entirely possible that I may have indulged in few (hundred) of those, at least up until about 1989... ;)...but my memory of that time is quite foggy. Go figure...

I don't have many old photos. Ex took all the photo albums :(

Here is a not so clear photo of me on my dirt bike when I was about 30 years old. That is hair sticking out of the back of the helmet from my long hair days.

I had quite a "smoking" in the mid 70's but can't post those! Govt work and all!!

No old photo's of me and a bike since I've only had a bike since 2005. But I do have a pic of my Dad that I came across a couple of years ago. It's dated 1968 so I would have been about 5. I didn't even know he had a bike until I saw this.

Superduty,
Too bad that thing didn't get handed down to you....it would be worth some major $$ about now...

I've enjoyed the pics guys. Keep them coming!

Netnorske; evidently nothing you did in the 70's affected your eyesight to keep you from being an umpire... I assume?

Superduty, Looks like my Dads 65 Panhead Electra-Glide. 1st year eletric start, last year panhead motor. It was so pretty and he was so proud of it.

That's the same thing I thought. A co-worker has one he rides in on occasion....a '65 Panhead...but he is constantly working on it to keep it running. It was a pile of junk when he bought it and he has been restoring it ever since. He at least can enjoy riding it now!
