Blast from the Past. Touring Europe in 1953

[pumps]

A guy found these pictures from his dads tour of 53'. Cool vintage bikes and the way they dressed! I'm sure some of you may have seen this and if so I apologize but I just love it. Aaah for the simpler life....

Excellent pics! And lovely old bikes.

I saw those pics when they were posted before, but I just enjoyed them again. Really great pics from another time in history.

Some of those cars reminded me of the 1952 Austin my brother and I had in the 1960's.

A member of our motorcycle group did the same ride (mostly) in 1968... on a Triumph no less. He was quite happy to see pictures of this ride , it brought back some memories and some cool stories.
