The original adventure riders (and bikes!)

Its that time of year again to enjoy this thread !

Hi all,
I thought these early 70's films were brilliant, but I have the feeling that most of you guys stateside will be very familiar with them...but maybe not elsewhere SO...sorry if they have been posted here before, won't hurt again though; they just make me laugh in so many ways.

All the best everyone

Dang Wes this is AWESOME! Just found this one and had to comment...I only made it through your first post some ten years ago but HAD to say how much I will be enjoying this thread for many days to come! Those old dudes are CRAZY!

Time to bring this excellent thread back to the front for those who have not seen it.
One of my favorite threads on the site.
Ride what you have!

Bump for a favorite

This is a great thread. Cool stories Wes!

Bump to keep this on the first page.

These guys are our roots. They boldly went wherever it was fun to go. They pushed their machines to the limits and beyond. That is Adventure Riding.

I agree!

After seeing what these guys did on hardtails, I'll laugh my ass off the next time I see a KLR, GS, DL, etc, rider going on about their new, high-dollar suspension they had to have so they could pull off to the side of the road and take pics of their bikes...lol.

Have you seen it?

The July issue has a great shot of a flying Harley hill climber.
Hard tail, springer forks, floor boards, and tire chains too.

The rider's position is "perfect timing" for the picture!

If you don't get the magazine, take a look at the last page next time you are in a store.
