Those were the days when motorcycles looked like art. A combination of machine, and art. I was luck enough to own one of the very last ones. My 1974 Norton Commando.
Soom after that motorcycles became the same as cars. The motors are so ugly they had to cover them with plastic to hide the way they look. Harley was the company that kept style alive, but nowadays even that's debatable.
This is what my 1988 Sportster looks like now, but to get it to look this good took a lot of work.
IMHO the only company's even trying to make bikes that look as good as bikes of old are Harley, and Triumph, but even they fall short. At least with enough money you can still get back a little of the old look.
HIPPY!!! GETT EM!!!

Lawrence suffered from a concussion and they were un able to bring the swelling down of his brain and consequently the Dr. who was treating him got the first helmet law ast,it took many years though as alot of people thought helmets were dangerous kinda like the mindset people had towards the automobile seat belts in the first few years of it's use.

I gave up on long hair when I went bald in the middle, then I Started silver threads in the beard and shortened it. I'm nobody's Father Christmas, thank you.
How many of you have to comb your bodies before you get dressed in the morning? Try back combing your chest. Shows it off a treat.
