I miss ya buddy. Couldn't agree more with so many points here. Our society has really publicized a slant on this world that I think is upside down to what so many still believe. I am so sick of liberal press, what's being taught (rewriting history books), and all that "politically correct" crap should go anytime (I'm wishing).
Georgia has "Open Carry" and it is great to see folks now and then with a little something on their sides. Personally, I like the concealed-side of defense.
Sorry if I offend others here; not sure how many Pot smoking, Birkenstock sandel wearing, Nickelback song singing, tree hugging, Green peace supporting, War protesting, long haired friends' of Jesus we have here!
But know I'll defend you anyway. My King James version of the Bible, a Copy of our Constitution & Bill of Rights, and my AR Field Manual are probably all I need to get around town with, and to live my life.
P.S. Throw-in my copy of HD's Touring Shop Manual. Now I'm good.

Its America you can do what ya want, the dog looked happy. I would not do it with my dog but hey, its his dog, lot worse things are done to dogs and nobody gives a crap. This was Troy NY, he had a gun on his hip, so we know this was before the commies took over the state. Miss those days up there I bet. Waiting for the Fla open carry law to get passed, not that I will open carry but its just nice to have the bill of rights respected fully.
Oh at least it was a real dog not a mass produced taco bell influenced miniature copy of a real dog (calm down I even love the rat dogs), the dog also looked pretty healthy and the guy cared for the dog that he got for a beer, probably saved that dog from a miserable existence. Remember this was the 70's before PETA when you could still legally eat dog, cat, cow and have all the MSG and trans fats you wanted, Mc Donald's French Fries were real Fries deep fried in unhealthy lard. The word metrosexual wasnt invented yet and neither was the word Yuppie or DUI, frikken hippies were filthy hippies, cops would kick your *** instead of locking you up, the good old days. Now everyone is so judgmental and busy bodied. Fk it, just ride, and carry a gun to discourage anyone from telling you how to raise your dog, cat or kids.
Nice video keywest Ben
Oh video camera hadn't been invented yet either
Great film keywest Ben
Now that I am ranting I have to ask, Steve did you mount a super 8 camera on the helmet back then?

Gotta love the Schwinn, back when a bike was a bike, miss my old Stingray with the tall sissy bar, and yes it was same color yellow. I knew you would have a gadget mounted somewhere man.
No Jerry,
But you might like this camera mount that I fabricated for my tandem bike. I used a swivel head from a tripod, I could turn the camera in any direction while I was riding. Actually made some really good videos in Key West, St. Augustine, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton. Oh, also in Shark Valley in the Everglades.
I still have the bike, and the camera mount (at my mom's, in the garage). It's a 1969 Schwinn, it weighs a ton, but me and the wifey still take it to the beach sometimes.

Here's a pic of one of my favorite "yellow" bikes. I got this YZ250 when I was 15, my feet couldn't even touch the ground. This pic was from the early 80's.

Nice! That brings back memories for me too! Loved my Yamaha 250! Someone broke my shifter...but on the inside of the case...so I would fan the clutch...was always in 4th and I could go anywhere with anyone and fast too! Sold it for $20!
