No off the rack leathers, or MOCO 'customs'. Some of those bikes only 1/2 done, with weird peg placement. Drum brakes and a dude riding 'bitch'. 1/2 a century ago. Wow.

Look at those pics, then look at a group in any Bike Night event today...

You can clearly see why we get no respect these days!

They looked like they'd bite your head off just for looking at them wrong.
Today, 'biker's look like they'd rather discuss latte flavors...

Noticed a Sporty or two. I wonder if anyone pointed out that they were riding 'girl's bikes'?

It was more comfortable than a black eye or a broken jaw wired shut because they asked for money to pay the rent.

What you have there is a classic example what the real difference is is between actual bikers and today's riders and like or not boys and girls there's damn few " bikers " out there anymore .
