I remember going to a Harley dealership... it was a converted house and two car garage. The house was the showroom and the garage... ahh... the garage.

I remember talking to a Norton dealer who told me he was quitting the business because bikes had gotten way too expensive for the average rider... $4000 that year.

I remember when Honda was dumping bikes into the USA and TARIFFS saved HD.

I remember when the coolest choppers were made in some guy's garage from a Norton, Triumph, Honda or Harley.

I remember when bikes weren't "art".

Yep, I remember going into a dealership (H-D of Salem County NJ) around the mid 70's and a new Dresser was about $3500.00. I had a '72 Sportster at the time.

They say that when you start to look back that's because your getting old...  ;)

LOL... I've always been old... but that is another story. The past, not necessarily your own, gives you a clue about the future.
