A thread for pictures of pre-1980 motorcycles, choppers, trikes, sidecars and scooters.
Please enjoy, and add some of your own!

Nice pictures!
Caught unprepared (I don' t have anything about bikes, trikes, et on my HD, may add add a picture of this ? I know it's not quite spot on, but...
Ralph Crane, Front shot of two men riding in the three wheeled German made Messerschmidt. 1954
EMMAG, a Hungarian motorcycle. Less than 20 were made
I have absolutely no idea about this.
Scooter time!
Hurry, warmer weather!

Vroom!
One last try at kick-starting this thread, before it disappears over the horizon.
Please don't kill it yet !
One of those is a bike, but technically not a motorcycle indeed.
And the pictures are not pre 1980, but the body of these machines sure is.
A few scooters.
Two period photos of the Sheppee Cykelaid.

Worry not, amigo. There will be no thread cataclysm, no self-mourning catechism, in spite of an absent magnetism writ tiny as masochism, this self-diagnosed anachronism chooses pragmatism over vandalism.
Though I be cheater, a dreamer, a regret-keeper, and a minor-leaguer, an oft-meager, used-to-be-meaner lost meaning seeker, and a fitful sleeper, I'm not a deleter.

Do you love me? Do you, biker girl?

Any ideas on what this one is? I saw it at a swap meet a number of years ago

My laptop is getting old and tired, and takes a long time to upload. As a result, when I click onto this page I always get the top photo of the Ethiopian girl before the latest posted image appears.
That's my story, anyway ;D.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive, Ray.
We may not be there often, but keeping threads alive is a second nature with us.
(second nature... do you say that in english?)
Indeed we do :)
Here are some that have been rattling around on my hard drive for a while.
