Advertisements that make you smile..
« on: August 16, 2012, 06:12:17 PM »
Was reading the ad's in a 1981 July issue of Cycle World.

Especially enjoyed the cigarette ad's. Ah, the days..

 I enjoy ads that are against the modern agenda.
 I enjoy adds that respect the good of the people.

Never enough room when you want to go for a ride? Always looking for storage solutions?

The "other half" a little short on top?

How can you beat this for the money and free shipping too! I better order two (2) and wear one opposite of the other. Plenty of room now!  ;)

My friend found another old magazine on the CBX. May of 1978.

Thought Steve-o would like the second picture.  ;)
