Gotta love the simplicity of the good old days, no gps, no panniers , no tent, no full armour. Must be nice to just stop and camp anywhere, not having to try put up a tent, no blow up matress, air pillow, Simplicity at it's best  :thumleft:

No disc brakes, no fuel injection, no abs, no 'cat', leaded fuel, half the horsepower, no xenons, no HID's, no LED's....

Me (in the check shirt :3some:) with my riding buddies in 1981 all 'kitted' up and ready to hit the riverbeds and koppies of Pta.  What shocked me most when I got this picture was how skinny I was  :imaposer:

Great one . Takes me way down memory lane. My old man did not share my biking passion. My kids do and I hope to give them these memories. Very special.
