Me and my '77 XLCH with Branch Mikuni-Solex 2 barrel carb. I was still in the Coast Guard, hence the hair, shades and denim pants. Still have the '75 Scirocco!!
Unfortunately, I spent most of my time riding and took almost no pictures back then.

Seems like that was the way. Must be lots of others on here with the odd pic or two stashed away though. Hopefully we will get to see a few. |
