    Default Vintage Motorcycle Ads

    I came across this page and thought it was interesting. I like these old style ads.

    And the scary part--I remember those ads when they were "new."

    The girls were a nice part of the advertising. Anyone have any additional ads? They barely scratched the surface.

    I like the old ads and it is interesting how many of the bikes are presented. Some are shown as classy, some are shown for speed, and the old off road bike ads are cool too.


    Beemer = motorcycles.

    Bimmer = cars.

    Spent 10 years riding and wrenching on fine Bavarian vehicles.

    That reminds me of my old bike. But when I saw one in Sturgis motorcycle museum last year it seemed so small.

    YES, Sometimes these old eyes and the brain get things mixed up. I remember when the 750 Norton was 'One of the Bike's to Enjoy'. Gee, how things have changed.
