Very cool photos. About going fast on those old things, fast forward to the 1965 when Jeff Smith was winning the 500cc World Championships on the factory BSA's. I too can't imagine what it would be like to go fast on a 196 lb. 500cc 4 stroke. Just imagine how light they will be 47 years from then.....Whistling

That would be awesome if Fat head (or whatever that company is called that makes the wall stickers/decals) made nostalgic stuff like this.

His left testicle maybe. They had to have huge ones to ride one of those things at speed.
