Default Easyriders 1990 Tech tricks and tips...

Hey gang, go to the link I'll put below to be able to download the pdf of this book - for free! I remember when this came out. It was worth the scratch when a buddy got it and let me look through it. It's an awful lot for even older than evo model bikes, but evo and older it's got covered, naturally. Plus all the old drawings and cartoons we grew up looking at and laughing at!

Copyright 1983. "Wordhead" (whatever that is, editor?) passed in 1982. I don't think we're gonna see a lot of Evo stuff in there, but thanks for the link. Takes me back to shovelhead daze.

Yep, it was the memories that this thing brought back, for me. The tips and tricks are good, but pretty much for shovel's and older sleds, but the story-like writings and the Robinson drawings were mainly why I downloaded it. Man oh man, those were some good times!! If I remember right, there were two or three books like this in this series.

Yeah, Robinson certainly seems to have been "in the scene."

Of course the Internet has all the answers all the time ... Some good, some not so good ... Back in the day these Easy Rider rags were a source of interesting information to say the least
