Revel in the shared memories that will transport you back to your own motorcycle adventures. Fred ‘Bro’ Smith returns you to the 1950s. He shares: “I was never a ‘star’ rider. I simply loved to race. I had the privilege of meeting renowned racers, shop owners, and officials. I was fortunate to ride on celebrated race tracks and in significant events of that era. These are my cherished memories from over five decades ago.”
In contrast, Wayne Hosaka recounts the 1960s: “In this vast field, there must have been ten men on 40 cubic inch Triumphs, BSA’s and Nortons, lined up handlebar to handlebar, clutch levers taut against the grip, motors revving incessantly… The adrenaline was at an all-time high as the starter flagged off the race, riders accelerating out of the gate, flinging dirt and dust high into the air…”
Steve Kukla completes the trip down memory lane with the 1970s: “We unloaded the Bultaco at the top flats, strapped on a helmet, and took off. It started right up, to my surprise. The horsepower was impressive. But imagine my astonishment when, while pulling a wheel stand, the lower half of the front forks and wheel detached.”
‘These are the Good Old Days’ is a collection of articles penned by these three authors, originally published in the pages of ‘S&S Off Road Magazine’ over approximately 15 years. Gathered into a single volume, they guide the reader through three memorable decades of motorcycle adventures in Southern California.
If you were a rider back in the day – or wished you were – you’ll laugh, shed a few tears, and reminisce along with the authors, recalling plenty of your own motorcycle stories. Secure your copy today, and consider one for a fellow motorcycle enthusiast too.
