Yeah, they look pretty good. Kind of the "hot rod" cruiser style. 8)

haha Im not quite that old, I'm only 20. I just got my bike a few weeks ago. Would have been cool to live in those times though. The music was awesome, the cars were great and now I'm I realize how cool the bikes are.

Born in the wrong decade. oh well. I guess i'll have to buy my way back to that time :D

I used to say stuff like that (21, myself) but then I thought about things, like, you know.. Korea, or Vietnam. ;P
