Yes, it all started in 1970. A few of us had joined the Airforce and decided we would be a bit rebellious and build some choppers. I think it all started from my copy of Easyrider issue#1#. They were definitely a police magnet and I don't remember a time when I wasn't pulled over during a ride.


This was a mates 650 BSA.

This was the last rebuild of the WLA.Just more of a piece of art than a motorcycle.

Whew! Tezza ... some truly remarkable snaps-in-time. The second pic could easily be mistaken for an album cover of the time.

Seriously hip.

Really great views of some solid machine works.

Good lord. The pictures just keep getting better. I forgot how cool we were back then. Oxide is right. That BSA pic could be a period correct album cover. Or a scene out of a yet to be released Boondocks Saint sequel.

Here ya go a 19 year old Ferret circa 1969 lol 1956 Harley Panhead my younger brother and I built from a dresser.

See? That's just funny. No hatred, just humor.
