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.  ;)

Section of a old road test on the CB750 out of Cycle Magazine :)
I remember this, I think I had this magazine in the 70's. I had collected stacks and stacks of motorcycle mags, but when I got married in 1980 I trashed all of them :( :( Wish I had held on to them, it would of been some good reading 32 years later.
How do you like the striped pants the guys wearing in the bottom left photo 8)
