The 60s chopper movement brought lots of babes on bikes, lots of boobs flyin’ free at events, on the back leanin’ against the sissy bar especially.

In the 70s, more and more women were starting to ride their own motorcycles.

Some very cool photos came of this.

    Man do I remember those woman, always wondered if I would ever meet up with them. Never did though. How time flies by.
