02-28-2018 #101Doombuggy - I meant what year was the "Sportster pic" taken?
47str8leg - That was my buddy's '58 Ford delivery truck so I'm not sure on the tire size but I think you're right, 14".
Davestune - Lance from Allston? Nope.
Father's sounds familiar. Bow and Arrow? No. We used to hang around Bunratty's in Allston, The Rat for a show maybe, but mostly the Speakeasy (blues bar) in Central Sq. Cambridge.
I seem to recall a chrome Triumph but maybe at Laconia bike week.
And yerp blue's bar.
The rat, hells ya
I played at all 3 of dem places
Ya I had chrome trumpet, and use to be at Laconia with it.

Oh yeah, now I see the bell-bottoms!
Davestune- that trumpet was a head-turner!
There were many other places too. "The Club" in Central Sq. The "Plough and the Stars" Cambridge, I'm drawin' a blank right now on names I'll talk to my friend with the insane good memory. Mine, not so good. HaHa!Last edited by hillcat; 02-28-2018 at 6:50 AM.

So I know this is a zombie thread, but I ran into a stash of old pics, biker and army days and if folks want I will post them up. But I really wanted to post this one up as it shows just how early on the chopper craze hit me. I just have the ratty ass old 120 negative, not even the whole roll. I think this would have been around 1965, maybe 1966, the pants are a dead give away.

Just an observation.
Edit- I originally thought they were vertically striped pants.Last edited by 47str8leg; 07-07-2021 at 6:09 PM.

You could be right on the year might have been a year or so later, and yes they are striped vertically, lol.

Yeah, I was that kid too. Used to love taping up the bars with different kinds of tape.
I lived on my bike. Thought it was my horse in a Western.
