Two guys riding two up was not gay, When in high school in the 70's I would take friends places all the time, never even thought about it. i guess it was a simpler time. I would not even consider it now, kind of sad if you think about it.

Yeah, let's see... pulling on what was left of a broken throttle cable to make it rev, then riding home like that. Coasting (or more often pushing) into a gas station and then filling up (with "high test") for less than $2.00. The aforementioned kicker, spark advance, points and plugs issues. Poorly adjusted mousetraps would KILL your left hand. No passenger pegs, so your girl would just wrap her legs around your waist. Buck model 110! Don't have one? GET ONE! Those sparkly vinyl seats held on with a bungee cord. Turn signals were left arm straight out for a left turn, bent up at the elbow for right turn, bent down for slow or stop (we never did that one). Vertebrae destroyed by rigid frames. No front brake, **** poor back brake. Putting a 6 volt horn on a 12 volt system (loud but it died early). Wiring up a cigarette lighter, then lighting everybody's smokes for them. Buying a jockey clutch pedal from a Custom Chrome dealer and fabbing a shift handle out of whatever was lying around. And every, I mean EVERY time we went camping it rained! Yeah, good times, noodle salad.
And after all these years, I just confirmed tonight- night time bugs taste best.

sanding the shoes on Drum brakes when they got slick and wouldn't stop, STP to cut down the smoking, Sandblasting spark-plugs when they fouled out. filing your points with a match book, Making your own plug wires, Painting your bike with spray cans. Making all your own gaskets from a tide box, using a pair of vice-grips for a shifter, Anybody got some more?

*Still* do the twine/rope thing and *still* don't give a crap what others wear and especially what *I* wear (I'm usually dirty as hell no matter how hard I try to keep cleaned up!). Can't do the walk thing anymore 'cause of the bad back disability now.

I still do this, though being disabled it just hurts a lot more...but that's what the pain pills are for.
