754, On the chopper it is running a 15" Pirelli radial. The hub used was a front hub off a CB750 with a lot of bearing work and setup done for the rear disk and the sprocket. It was a lot of work but it was pretty cool.

Yeah, looks like us old guys are giving you the finger  ;D  60 and haven't changed a bit  ;) Oh #$%*, where did my hair go?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D When they finish giving you a haircut they hold up a mirror so you can see the back. I finally told the guy, "put that thing down and nobody gets hurt".

Hey you're ahead of your time mate, shaved heads are a new(ish) fashion trend here, and I tell everyone that the shaved head is the new mullett! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I started shaving my head 10 years ago. The last time I went to a barber, and he asked me how I wanted my hair cut, I told him to cut it so it hung down to my ass. He didn't think it was funny. ;D

Same here.  Been using the clippers on myself since '92, and haven't paid for a haircut since. :)

I'm 59 now. I did notice recently my 30's year old kids friends invite us to hang out sometimes. Sometimes we do.

I was ahead of my time 20 years ago too.  Most people did not know the real reason why I did it.  Then other guys figured it out, started stealing my game and then the women started to figure it out too.  So, I got married, lol.

Had hair long enough for a pony tail and the only offers I got from the female side were what you would not tell anyone about.  Shaved my head and the women got a whole lot better looking.

Showed the MIL a pic of me with my step sister sitting on my lap when I was 16, she asked me  if the guy was her husband.  She didn't recognize me with hair.

Oh #$%*! Bald heads are the new thing in Oz? I guess it's a good thing I'm married. I save money on haircuts by not cutting my long curls. I just got back to pony tail length. I guess I'm still on the young side of this forum. I'm 29. Last year of my 20's. Maybe I'll shave my head when I'm 30 and old. I like to know old farts when it comes to bikes though. You all help me learn and I appreciate it.

I've been hanging out with old farts since high school. It helped me a lot when it came to building old cars and bike (both in the building of the machine and finding parts). They also exposed me to some great music, like Del Shannon, Fats Domino, the Ventures, etc.
