[@wayneperry7077]

@@jaymortensen642 I'm 57 now, way back in the 80's when I was just 21 I had a Honda 750-4 that was radically raked and chopped, painted black. You were almost laying on your back riding that bike. I thought I was the coolest guy on earth on that thing and took great delight in smoking Harleys on it. Never lost a race to one, and was almost hated for it lol. There was a lot of hate and distain for Japanese bikes from Harley riders then, way worse than today. If you showed up at a Harley party on a rice bike, you stood a good chance of your bike getting thrown on the bonfire. Seen it happen. I eventually got a Harley, and love her, but those old Hondas and Kawasaki's were the fastest thing on the road back in the early 80's.

Nice to see some pics of my uncle and extended family. Talk about time travel, I watched this live through my elementary school years. Too bad most are locked up or dead and the "life" isn't what it used to be. This is something you'll never see again, like cowboys on the Chisolm trail.

Although I never got to ride with these guys they were the epitomy of a band of brothers who were true to their name. Unfortunately now a days bike clubs are not true to the old school bikers and just like our veterans of past wars it's a dying breed. I'll always have a dirty pair of leathers and boots in rememberance of what these guys lived for.
