This was submitted to another site I frequent, just had to share it. 1953 tour photo story. Some nice looking bikes, some cool guys and a girl. Motorcycle clothing is something they seem to get by without, and they sure do brew up alot of tea. Enjoy.

Good find, thanks. Liked the hack with the roll bar.

Thanks for posting this here, Stephen. "Enjoy" you said, and enjoy I did!  (...btw, those pictures of the group going over the Grossglockner Pass in Austria, reminded me of my trip over the same road in 2009 with Thanassis)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
