If you subscribe to the NYT (I don't), you can read the July 3, 1965 article, "Gray-Flanneled Motorcyclists Find Haven for Parking in City". More pictures in it, too.
The world has changed a lot since 1965...

Good tip on the rest of the article GA. However my comment was based on the weekend use of that particular rider/bike. Probably bent a wheel or broke off his original levers using that cool CH in the woods, where it shines.

Gives you some idea of how organized and efficient the whole operation was. The dealership was later given to Burglers and Swindlers. Old man Norm Burling was a pretty good salesman. |
I'm sure it was a big mess, but that photo looks to be a double exposure
