My Dad in Hawaii in 1941 just before the Pearl Harbor attack

My Dad in 1977 on my bran new Kawasaki KZ1000

Found it ironic that your Dad would get a Kawasaki after experiencing the pearl Harbor attack.
Nice pics

I did the bags on that scooter. Man, looks like he has that thing about full bore.

This is me in 1973 on my 1972 XLCH Sportster. I bought the bike brand new in March of 1972.

Wow. Some really cool pics, guys. Thanks for posting them. Man, what was it like to ride those 70s choppers with square profile wheels??? Some of them look like old style snow tires!

The Kawasaki was my bike. He had a big smile after the first time he road it but he still gave me a hard time for owning a "G*d dam* Jap bike!"

Chopped a '70 Bonneville over a couple of years. Sure miss that bike, but my back doesn't miss the hard tail....

RE: Old Pics (70's)

Here's the final result, after raking the frame. This is on a trip to Mexico, from Minnesota, in 1974 . Went to night school at a Votech to learn how to weld, and learned custom painting by reading a series of Custom Chopper articles. The second pic is a of a friend's '47 Knucklehead that I painted as well. This was back when Jon Kosmoski's House of Kolor was just getting known. The last picture is down in Juarez, Mexico, where a brother/sister team were offering their services. His specialtywas shining shoes...

RE: Old Pics (70's)

Buttman, I had a set of Z-bars and dogbones just like yours when I first bought the Bonneville in '72. Damn near killed myself when the whole works came loose on a curve in the Ozarks !

Notice my '66 442 in the background? That was the other vehicle I never should have sold !
