NEED YOUR HELP: IN NEED OF VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE PICTURES
« on: December 03, 2007, 12:31:36 PM »
Hey guys, I need you help...

I am looking for some classic/vintage/old pics involving motorcycles (must have a rider) for 1/2 Fast Chicago to use/modify for our upcoming "Burning Love" party we are having. Basically it is gonna be a party where you bring in something from a past relationship, that will get thrown into a pile and burned behind the bar (fire will be set by fire breathers =) We have Dewars sponsoring the event, as well as other local bike shops and what not. This is our first real event, and are trying to make it the best we can.

I am looking for a oldschool/vintage pic of someone riding a bike. Weather it be a personal pic or something you grabbed off the  web I really don't care. The plan is to modify this pic and turn it into the flyer for the above mentioned event. Similar to what we did with the flyer below, but this pic was taken by a club member --->
So, if you have something you thing screams "old school-vintage" post it here or email it to me at Saytin72@aol.com (if you could)...

As always, I appreciate any and all help from you guys. And make sure to come down to Chicago (if you can) and come out to the event. I promise you out of towners it is gonna be rockin !

just a thought. 


i love pinball, so this one appealed to me but if youre looking for motorcycles with riders and your theme is fire, he's the man.  and you get to pay some respects to a man that seemed like you might never need to.

OK.  This one always makes me tear up.  Very emotional.  She can go into a slide while up-shifting for the straight and I never could.  One of the all-time great action shots, IMO.
