came across this picture while looking for something else it it was taken about 1969. belonged to one of my belated riding buddies. note the ape hangers over 35 years ago so any one who things what they are doing today is new thing again what goes around comes around.
Looks a little like somebody wastched Easy Rider once too often, but who care's its a sweet looking ride.
Wouldn't mid having one like that for cruise nights, but I wouldn't want to go on anything like a long distance trip with it.
I'm a little too soft (old) for something that "hard" these days.
dad just gave me his stock 51, but its been outside in the rain for about 10 years. so, thats my project these days. I love those old pans, but it gets expensive quick tryin to bring that old shiit back to life
Brother of mine has a stock 57 Pan. I have the apes on my Heritage. Have been around the old school for a long time,and I know where, and when it all started. Great looking scooters and great Brothers form the past. Give them the credit, where its due......Ride Safe and Often......BearC.Paw.......
