Vacman 0 Posted September 21, 2015 What a cool video. Loved the pinups on the wall behind the dude building the bike. I guess that stuff wasn't clear enough to see in the 60's. Haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.JAJA 380 Posted September 21, 2015 That is what I remember. 2" travel 150 ccm and no Helmet. And the forest is ours. No I- pad, no color TV, just the trees and mud, love the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThumperBob 21 Posted September 21, 2015 Back in the day with not much protection or suspension. What a blast!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted September 21, 2015 I hate to rain on everybody's Nostalgia Parade, but riding without gear was lazy and foolhardy (and we didn't have half the stuff we have now) and the bikes were all motor and no suspension and brakes...was it a blast? Yeah! But modern bikes are SO good in comparison, and we're not 12 anymore...i'll keep my gear and 11" of travel, disc brakes, etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 406 Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks for posting. I've seen it 100 times and to see it again is just fine its a great one!!!Greeves!!! Sorry for the downfall of the British moto industry. The only shame of the viddy is the edited in sound effects.....those greeves 2 strokes were crazy loud with blooey pipes!!! the sounds sometimes seem all 4 stroke in nature even when you see the Villiers 2 strokers. went to vintage race a while back that loudest bike by far was the greeves 2 stroke. remember no bickering when you scramble.

Dan Diego 40 Posted September 21, 2015 That was just too sweet. I love seeing the old videos...good comparison of how far we've come, and how much we still love riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rojodogg 0 Posted September 21, 2015 God and i though the klr had crappy suspension, talk about bottoming out. Those guys were crazy back then but they sure did have alot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We just did not have the gear that is available today. We did not have the suspension either! I am sure in the future there will be even better protective gear. But you still enjoy riding with today's equipment don't you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted September 21, 2015 Ha..we used to jump off the school roof on bmx bikes with no gear...helmets and gloves were required in our family for dirtbikes, but bicycles were ignored....and yes; I rode a MR50 in the drainage ditches of orange county and out to the construction sites with minimal gear...i'm just saying while we're all feeling nostalgic, the bikes are SO much better today, and I feel naked without a helmet and boots on...
