    Random Historical Photographs

    Excellent post BW! I find these old photos just fascinating! The Goebbels one especially, which I remember seeing years ago. I actually thought that shot was by Eric Solomon, but sure enough, it was "Eisie". Here is a bit about Eisie's technique on this shot...

    Here also for your continuing enjoyment, is the Mark Dunn "DunnRite Snap-On Tools Chopper". This was designed and built by the tech who works on my 'Sporty' in Phoenix, AZ. I don't own this one either! http://www.americancyclemag.com/pdf/toolbike.pdf and...

    Here is something that any motorcycle enthusiast can enjoy without debate; The State of Arizona 'Copper Chopper'. All positive and enthusiastic comments and opinions welcome! It ain't mine. I didn't design it. I didn't build it. I'm just presenting it for the enjoyment of those who might...

    HoosierDaddy, Buzz off! I've been coming to this lounge since 2004, so's I got's some seniority on ya! It is contentious old buzzards that kill the joy of this kind of community. I'm not hear to pick fights or to get slammed by individuals who feel as though they are the muscle in this...

    Me too ButteMT61, that's is part of the fun of riding; the acknowledgement with others of the camaraderie of the motorcycle community at large. A lot like how the FL has been over the years - I've been an active contributor since 2004 but I notice a change in the tone more recently, with a...

    HoosierDaddy, you sure are contentious in your old age! To those of us who actually read the article, it was easy to discern that it was written tongue-in-cheek and was a sly wink at the whole 'wave' phenomenon. As my old Dad used to say, "don't get your bowels in an uproar!", not every post...

    The best of James Bond 007

    davidraphael - I believe the Vic Flick bit you're referring to is this intro to the LP version of 'HELP!' - it is very distinctive of the James Bond genre. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNMZwrjN9E0&playnext=1&list=PL37A37D2DF933B42C&feature=results_video -dixon cannon...

    Why do you come here? Why do you love the Golden Era?

    My Dad was born in 1901 and he was filled with stories of 'The Golden Era'; he lived it. He was a living history book and encylopedia and he had photographs to prove it. He died when I was but twelve and he lives in me in my love of his era. Here's the geezer now! doing his best...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hey, my friend who shall remain nameless, who lives elsewhere just advised me to watch my mail for a copy of 'Song Of The South' he's sending me. NOW THAT will be a fun flick to watch again after probably fifty-years! I shall write a review once I screen it! -dixon cannon

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Here is an example of cutting edge fashion c.1966; the hair is less 'Beatles' - more Herman's Hermit's methinks. But the eyeglasses are all LBJ. Hey, I know what it was to live in 'The Great Society'!! -dixon cannon

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Wow! I wore a pair just like those are my first pair ever back in '66-'69 - decidedly "un-hippy" I'm afraid. I didn't get my first pair of wire-rims until High School, probably 1970 and they were more like what NBC newsman Frank McGee wore - quasy aviator types. -dixon cannon

    That whole 'chic' bike thing about Sportster's is a load of ignorant nonsense. Anybody brings it with with me and they get a face-to-face lesson in the history of the Sportster. It was introduced to be the American answer to those Brit bikes that were popping up - the Triumphs, BSA's and...

    I enjoyed those Hondas immensely during my school years. I rode them rain or shine and only took a couple of tumbles. Another forty-years went by before I rode again and I got the bike of my dreams. Always a Bronson fan, I had always wanted a Sportster - mine is a very low mileage 1999 1200...

    What year was this photo taken?

    Unfortunately, the photo only shows a "the red X", which would indicate that the photo did not upload properly. I use PhotoBucket as a "uploader" and it's worked fine for me for years on this forum. I see your URL now - I will access it there and get a look. -dixon cannon

    I'm sure I posted this before; My 1971 Honda CL350 that I rode my Senior year in High School. Now I've got a beautiful HD Sportster 1200 ≈ ...here's the 1970 CL175 and the earlier 1970 CL70 My entire High School fleet! -dixon cannon
