Very nice pic's! Interesting that there is not a "bagger" in the bunch - times sure have changed. I remember a lot of the bikes back then - most of them were "stripped down"
and very few windscreens.

Also seems that gaiters and springers were popular.

Nothing wrong with a sporty.

Context is everything, back in those days, a sporty wasn't small. Lots of folks rode "small" bikes.

Motorcycles like a M109R, VTX1800, 110 cvo, a 111 Indian, Vulcan 2000 or Triumph Rocket III didn't exist.

Cool pics... I started riding in the mid/late-60's and was living/working/going to college (trying/failed not to get drafted) in the LA/Burbank (Hells Angels) area by Fall/Winter 1969 (riding a BSA (and a Honda 750) around the still famous 'Angeles Crest Highway'), then moved just North/coastal of 'Frisco in the Redwood/Douglas Fir Canyons on the Russian River (Fillmore West years)... Those were the DAZE (purple haze CRAZE)...
