These guys take me back to what it was like back in the day. Love this video. The guy with no shirt on cracks me up :laugh: Back in those days, we thought proper riding atire was a helmet and a bandana, LOL. I give the guy some credit for the hipster beard, Even though hipsters weren't invetend yet.

I had a beard like that when I got my kids in 89. One day when they came home from school I had shaved it off. My 7 year old daughter was PISSED. I told her it was time for Dad to grow up. I miss those days and some things I did I would never do now. GOOD TIMES.B)

I remember them. Here's me carefully following the recommended break in procedure (NOT) on my brand new 81 GPz 550 and a friend on his 78 KZ1000. I know the bike was less than 2 weeks old in this picture because it still has the dual Factory exhausts. The Kerker came in 2 weeks later.

Got a ticket 40+ years ago for doing this across a major intersection. The cop had the front-row seat, and didn't miss a thing.
He commented how good my form was before I glanced his way mid way through. :lol:
It was a DT400, fresh off the trails that day.
