Very cool. Dig seeing the old bikes. I live in McHenry, IL now and am curious where the race track used to be.

 

kool pics n nice bike most still rockin the quiffs way kool

 

Good pics,thanks.

 

Love the old pics.

Man, what I wouldn't give to live in those times.

 

Cool pics no doubt. It's easy to romanticize the good old biker days looking at those. Within a decade things got pretty ugly. Some of us temper our waxing nostalgic with the knowledge that some of those guys were definitely not people you would want to get to know.

 

A good friend of mine and an Outlaw since back in the day, rode with some of the guys in the pics. He is still a member and currently lives in Georgia. It was and still is all about respect. Give it and you will receive it. I have met and become friends with Outlaws, Pagans and Hells Angels over the years, as well as numerous friends and family who are full patch members of these and other MC's. I have never had the desire to join, but consider many of them dear friends. Again, most clubs were started by veterans a long time ago, and others came later and not necessarily started by vets. We all share a common bond in that we enjoy riding a motorcyle. For some it is a way of life and for others its just wanting to be part of a culture that began for the most part right after World War two. We all ride our bikes for different reasons, but my advice to you would be to always be respectful of others. Respects to those who live the dream.

 

Thanks for the photos. Great history

 

Tying back to a previous topic...notice how quite often there are two guys riding together and there doesn't appear to be any shame or embarrassment.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Seems like a f--- wasn't given about ridin' bitch back then. Love these old pics, thanks OP.

 

great photos
