c. 1973 in San Jose, California

My twin brothers on their Indians, which they had bought in Iran (while working) and shipped home. Those bikes were all they cared about, then, and they turned heads wherever they went. Maybe it was the deafening roar...anyway, the one on the left is on the Ducati in the previous photo.

Can't remember years, exactly, but the one on the left is around 1946, the other about 1937.

Ha! Welcome to the club, Gudrun. By the way, these guys are now 62 and would probably have a hard time wrestling an Indian cycle around on a mountain road. (Don't tell them I said that!) Thanks for the star!

My type of guys. At that time I was steeling the moped of my mother and drove through the streets. I still am riding a bike, so is my son. That is one thing that connects us..

Way back in my day from 1964 I was always out & about on Motorbikes with crowds of us & we were called Rockers in those days & they are still around......About a couple of years ago we had a big reunion 100 of us some had moved around the world so couldn't make it but sent letters. Quite a few of them not seen for 50yrs .....It was wonderful & real buzz. We are still meeting up which is great !!

I did that, too, but I was interested in the surfer crowd. Your reunion sounds like great fun! Thank you so much, Marj, I always enjoy your stories and visits!
