...motorcycles were called "motors"? Example; "Are you going to ride your motor, today?" My mother in law asked me about my "motor" the other day. I hadn't thought of that expression in years.
Got any more motorcycle "remember whens"? Post them up.
Never heard that one.
Remember when motorcycle shops were small, hole-in-the-wall type places instead of the big corporate boutiques that many of them are now?
... the engine covers were held on by butter-soft phillips head screws that could only be removed with an impact driver. How did the factory get those buggers on so tight?
...every bike was used for off road riding
Remember when sex was safe and motorcycles were dangerous
... Goodyear made motorcycle tires? I put Goodyears on my first bike- a Kawasaki H1 Mach III. I sure they did wonders for the handling of such a sublime motorcycle.
Yes, I remember a motorcycle being called a motor. Brother in law has used that term in recent years. I still have my impact driver from Smith Brothers in Tarrant. The shop was in an old house. Just bikes lined up, parts hanging on the wall and a counter. Lots of folks wore the snap on 'bubble' shield on an open face helmet then. Many of them were amber. I had a 'full coverage' blue/black/gray metal flake helmet. I really wanted the Bell Star. But it cost a whopping 60.00 :o
