She sells sexy shocks by the
seashore. A day at the beach
wouldn't be complete without a
set of Motorsports Specialities
gas shocks. And it wouldn't be
the 1970s if an MC accessories
advertisement didn't include
a bikini-clad model as their
product spokesperson. Sexual
innuendo ran rampant through
these ads, but the shocks were
still a good stocking stuffer.
Six inches of travel for only
$129.95.
Don't forget the little ones on
your list. The Space Platform,
available from Cosmopolitan
Motors, can reach a breakneck
speed of six mph, thanks to the
compact 12-volt car battery
hidden inside the front com-
partment. Just $199 (and like
all toys of the '70s, battery not
included, of course).
Why wait for some
coding nerd who dreams
in Java to develop a cool
motorcycle racing game?
Hyper-transport yourself
back to 1978 and snag
the "Baja Bike Scrambler."
The battery-operated
game, with its movable
handlebars, gives your
youngster a chance to
practice their riding skills
across four different
types of terrain. Under
$20 at toy stores everywhere.
While you are hanging out in
the '70s, why not head out to
the most famous motorcycle
riding park ever? Saddleback
Park was Mecca for the off-road
enthusiast, and for just $150,
you can pick up a year's riding
pass. Worked out to just $2.75
per week, according to the arith

metic whiz kids at Cycle News.
When you come back to the
21st century, maybe there will
be a worldwide social media
site where you can paste up
photographs of yourself sailing
down Banzai Hill!
Finally, why would you pay
for something that you can now
get for free? Because it is still
the 1970s and if you wanted to
know what was going on in the
world of motorcycling,
you knew that $11.50
was a cheap price to
pay for weekly race
results…not monthly
history! Ancient forms
of currency called
checks and money
orders would get 50
issues of Cycle News
delivered right to your
mailbox. Don't delay;
offer expires January
10, 1976!
