If you were riding a chopper you were a target of opportunity and fresh meat for the lions.

I never had that happen to me, ever. Now riding through Catoosa, Oklahoma with long hair could get risky.

Could tell you nice story about rednecks, the good old boy network and local cops in Mcalester Ok.

Seen this! Included Van Halen's first album tour. They booked it for $500 bucks.

It used to be that way around here, too, when they were still busting moonshine stills in the woods.....

And I'd probably believe it.

Oh and if you remember the party's when you were young they may not have been that great.

I partied a little too hard a little too young.

Memory from a long gone local builder out here in California. H & H turned out the old Harmon front ends, and a lot of other bike stuff back in the day. I have one of their front ends on my Ironhead.

I remember getting arrested and spending the night in jail in Yosemite National Park, just because I had long hair with a head band, a big beard, and rode a chopper with my duffle and sleeping bag tied to the sissy bar.

Park Ranger did a u-turn and followed me for a couple of miles before he pulled me over. He waited until he had back up. About 6 hours after they arrested me, they said they found weed in my belongings. Bullshit!! I smoked all I had the night before and was out.

I got out the next morning, but had to return 2 weeks later for court. I got it all thrown out, but it was a big hassle. Ruined my weekend ride.
