ad for Premier Helmets

ad for HA Helmets

ad for Headguard helmets.  These look like they came from Mars.

ad for Ducati 250 MK-III, complete with 12,000 rpm tach.

another Buco Helmet ad, this one says: "The emancipated female can now
        own a uniquely feminine helmet.  Made by Buco, the 'Debutante'
        features reflectorized trim, in white or blue, that is color-
        coordinated with the Delta hold-downs."  Ri-ight.

customize your scoot with Lolli-Pop paint, clearcoat, wax, and
        rubbing compound.

ad for McLaughlin Chain Lube

ads for Harley-Davidson.  Oddly, the twins had white seats in 1968.
        Gross.  Only two twins were available - a 900 and a 1200.

ad for ILC Jetstream helmets, with a doofus air scoop riveted to the
        top.  Just the thing to collect those airborne bugs and direct
        them down onto your scalp...

ad for Avon fairings, which would give you "The 'Ton Up' Look."

ad for Suzuki KT-120 Bearcat with dual-range transmission

ad for Honda Trail 90 with dual-range transmission

ad for Avon drag slicks

several ads for Sears motorcycle tires

road tests:  Kawasaki W1SS 650 Commander, Bultaco 250 Matador, and
             Kawasaki F3 175 Bushwhacker.

ad for Zundapp motorcycles

ad for Bridgestone motorcycles

ad for American Eagle motorcycles, 750 twins.  They say "Laverda"
        on the engine cases.

ad for Goodyear tires, showing a Honda CL-160 with a male rider and
        female passenger.  She is wearing a skirt and riding side-
        saddle, both feet on the right peg.  1990s' safety dweebs
        would have a cardiac infarction over that.

ad for American Eagle four stroke oil

ad for Full Bore motorcycle oil  (don't they sell boots now?)

ad for D-A Speed-Sport oil

motocross buildup for a Harley Rapido 250

photo and description of the OSSA "Ugly", the monocoque aluminum
        chassis roadracer you see in chassis design articles and
        books.  I never understood why they didn't grind the welds
        down either.
