Came across an old Hot Rod Magazine (Mar 1967) and saw this ad, thought you guys would enjoy it as much as I did.

 

Wow, Harley riders look exactly the same then as we do now!

 

Haha ,yea I'm diggin' my groovy white slacks man!

 

I love the "start at $230" part of the ad.

 

You mean to tell me that there was a time that it was acceptable to ride a Harley without wearing black leather? Blasphemy.

 

I ate at a Quaker Steak and Lube in Rapid City last weekend. They had one of those single cylinder Harleys on display inside. No one knew what year it was. Now I am thinking about 1967.

 

I remember those days well and thinking how huge that 1200cc engine was compared to the dirt bikes I rode. lol

 

Cool! I'm digging the check standing beside the bike, I love 60s ladies.

 

No leather jackets or helmets, not like todays Ads.

 

The Aermacchi M65 may have had Harley badges but was purely Italian. Here is the 1968 ad.
