Re: The Summer of 1966
My mom shot this picture of me in the summer of '66 with my '62 CH. I had already won a few trophies with it. I was 22 and had just completed my boot camp and tech school, hence the short haircut.

Re: The Summer of 1966
I was holding this thing called a draft card in one hand. it was a great 18th birthday present from the government. I got to see the world and learn to duck bullets very quickly. Had a 48 pan and HAIR.

Re: The Summer of 1966
Boot camp in SoCal. Ended up on a DE. from there on a riverboat up in I Corp in 68 and my introduction to Tet offensive and the real world (or not depending on your point of view).

Re: The Summer of 1966
Riding my own first bike, a Yammi Twin Jet 100, hot shit! Graduated up from my brother's Cushman. Paid for it throwing papers, and cashed it in for a
knuckle basket a couple years later. Been downhill since then!  Robbie |

I was 11 years old and trying to figure out why my older brother was so damn hungry when he got back from riding with his friends.

Re: The Summer of 1966
That is so epic. I wouldn't be born for another 22 years, but something about old racing footage makes me all warm inside. Thanks for posting this.
