    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Didn't know where else to post these. I'd like to see alot more like this. This is a place we used to hang out at as teenagers. Play pool, foosball, pinball, etc. Hard to make out the cars in the 2nd pic, but in the 1st is a '68 Camaro. That would have been a little before my time. Spent a lot of time here '72-'76. Dig the apes, sissy bar and no front fender on the Honda up front of the 2nd pic. It and the blue Sporty are in both pics.

No, these are just a couple of pics from a Facebook page. Brings back a lot of memories, though. I probably spent hundreds in quarters playing foosball. Even though this isn't GS related, I'd like to see more of these.
 
Wow, very cool pictures! Can you see all those drum brakes? and the skinny tires and shocks? The picture looks to be late 60s, very early 70s maybe. Times sure were different back then.... Thanks for sharing - those pictures really capture the era well.
 
Hey, Now i remember the no front femder kick. My 75 sporty was that way. STUPIDEST MOD I EVER MADE LOL LOL
 
Really does bring back the memories, in Florida back then you could ride a bike with up to 5bhp with a restricted drivers license that you could get when you were 14. Every junior and high school had a parking lot filled with bikes. You got to see all kinds, Hondas, Yamaha's, Bridgstones, Suzuki's (Suzuki's were not as popular then), Kawasakis. Some of my favorite bikes were the Honda CB160, Honda 90 Super Sport, and Yamaha twin jet 100. There were also Hodaka's, Vespa and Lambretta scooters too. It was truly an amazing time. The bikes that were considered big were the Honda 305's and a Honda 450 was considered a very powerful bike. A Honda 175 was considered a fairly big bike. My how times have changed. A year or two later, the Honda CB750 came around, the Triumph Trident, and Kawasaki's Mach III 500.
 
I remember those times, 60's In Junior High A friend had a Mustang (The motorcycle not the car) He later got a 67 Bonnie in HS. I had a 59 Tri Thunderbird in HS until I crashed it...
 
I believe the Honda with the high bars is a CB160.
I always lusted after the Super 90. It was FAST! Well, for a 13 year old it was.
Remember the Bridgestones? They did not have a stop in their rotary shifter, so if you upshifted from 6th gear you were now in 1st gear. Can you say "BOOM!"?

I do remember the Bridgestones, they were pretty damn good bikes, and fast too. I wanted a Honda 90 super sport too, ended up with a Honda 65 Super Sport, and I believe you're right on that being a CB160.
