You know...when I was 16 in 1970...and I saw the movie EASY RIDER...that was it...I KNEW what I wanted to do with my life...at the time I had a 1970 Yamaha 200cc scrambler...I put apes on it and a sissy bar from a schwinn bycycle...I later found these things called SLUGS...they were extensions for the fork tubes...I hung around this CHOPPER shop and they turned me on to them...they were REALLY RARE...and were discontinued right away because they were just screw in extensions of the fork tubes...ACTUALLY pretty dangerous because they could come loose and BANG you went down...but I had them and rode with lots of other people that had old triumphs and BSA and stuff like that...then I saw another movie called the WILD ANGELS...and I began going to the DRIVE IN and watching every biker movie I could...and there were alot of them back then...I began doing the biker thing...riding...partying...doing drugs...and everything...the only problem was...it stuck...and I ended up doing it for the rest of my life...well the drugs and partying got old after I woke up in jail more times than I care to count...but the biker life is STILL STRONG...and I now own two Hondas that I ride everywhere...and one is the 550 four cylinder...the other is a 1986 SHADOW 1100 LONG LIVE BILLY AND WYATT!!!
