things were a lot simpler, by
doggies. The in-the-know
~ rider picked up the latest
w
~ poop on the hot set up
d comin' out of California at
>(J
the local Indian shop. And
when Jim Underwood
won the Amherst Hillclimb
on a Reading Standard,
we all knew about it
because we lived just down
the road. And the only
thing you needed to know
about keeping cars off
your back was putting a
little white plate on your
front fender - that way
they all thought you were
a cop. The feds weren't
worrying about helmet
standards, and one cow's
hide was good as the next.
Nobody worried abou!
what you mde in the old
days, and there weren't
any speed limits, let alone
tons of laws sent like
fallout from the leaders
of our country. They
worried about the rise of
nationalism not ORV's,
and we worried about
Teapot' Dome, not
Watergate. The Sierra Club
worried about getting
into the wild places, not
keeping other people out,
and no one in their right
mirid would want to go
into a desert.

Now it's a iot different, and riding a motorcycle
isn't as simple as it was back in the twenties
and thirties. You've got to be a politician to
be able to do wh'at you want, and a news
network to know what's going on. So many
great things are happening so fast in the world
of motorcycle technology it is astounding,
and every weeken~,offers dozens of ra~es
to choose from. In the old days, all we
needed was a shot of whisky on cold.
days and a trip to the local hole-in-the-wall
to cope. Today's informed motorcyclist
