Now that is motorcycle riding! I love those old pictures when guys would ride a "street" bike into the woods, because they didn't have Dual Sports back then. Foot clutch and side shift too! Most guys today can't even think of riding a side shift.

WOW! Wish I had theMCs in the pics.......could sell them to you kats and buy a few more INDIANS!! nice pics of oldtime riders,up here in Maine there was a henerson dealer and I visited he some years back ANDHE TOLD OF STORIES key here stories of making powersleds out of old hendersen motors and running booze from Canada to Maine over potatoe fields I guess that whole generation was fullof hell!!!

Hend eng were used for lots of stuff. Home built airplanes also.

I'll replicate the mountain snow shots in about another month. It would be great fun! Riding a foot clutch hand shift is not that hard. You just have to get used to it, and that doesn't take long either.

The ol' Henderson motors were also used for boats....... But the airplane thing does remind me of a story an old timer once told me about a friend of his that had one! I guess I'd better get off my butt and do some research!!!!!! If you do the snow thing Admin-dude we're going to want to see some pictures!!!! I like the booze runnin' border thing there INLINE! Sounds like fun!
