So I spotted this photo my good high school buddy Rich recently posted…he’s on his brother’s Triumph Bonneville. Rich is retired now and he lives in Florida (the good life), and something about the pose reminded me of a photo I shot of Richie when we were kids in high school. There’s just a short 45 years between the two shots, and I can sure see the resemblance…what do you think?
And then my good buddy, test engineer, and CSC factory rider Joel posted a photo from his childhood…and hey, I had to put another one together. I can see it…yessirree…that’s the same guy!
And you’ve read about my buddy Mike B back in the homeland. You know Mike…he’s one of the original Joisey Boys…and he’s been out here on a number of CSC rides with us…
And another original Joisey Boy, my good buddy and childhood next-door neighbor Pauly B…shown here with a couple of shots from the mid-1960s, with his MGA (which his grandmother used to love riding around in)…
And yeah, that’s me on the left, with another shot from the ’60s on my Honda Super 90 back in the days when I actually had use for…what did they call those things? Oh yeah…combs!
And hey, what would then-and-now photos be without our best good buddy and advisor Jimbo, with one photo from his days as the original Mustang Motor Products Production Superintendent, and a more recent shot on the best motorcycle in the world!
Jimbo, I’m pretty sure I’m on fairly solid ground when I say this…you’ve weathered the years a lot better than the rest of us!
I may find a few more then-and-now photos, boys and girls, and if I do, you’ll see them right here. And if you’ve got any, shoot them to us! We’d love to put them on the blog!
Ride safe, folks…
