Default "Old school" road trip

OK, I usually don't like the overused words "old school" but I feel it really applies here. I saw these guys about 100 miles out from Sturgis. They were from Denver. Nice to see young guys keeping up the tradition of chopping bikes:

It's interesting that you post this. Just this month I saw a younger guy (under 35) on an old school bike.

Maybe they are resurrecting old mounts from the 60-70's??

GREAT photos! Thanks for sharing. Young guys riding hard tails. About as rare a sight as young guys working hard. They get two thumbs and two big toes up!

I wish I was driving behind 20 choppers yesterday instead of 20 numbskulls, mostly on three wheelers, doing whatever dangerous and rude riding style possible, just to ensure no cars ended up between them. I was (as always) keeping extra distance behind them. Then these dipsheets pass cars behind me, only to pass me with oncoming cars, ending up about 10 feet from my bumper at 65 mph...just to get in line with their little crew. One of their own nearly ran another bike off the road in the merge. Newbies on new bikes that don't know how to ride.

Road trips with those guys would be a blast.
I'll keep the shocks on my Shovelhead though.
