![]() ![]() So Alvin used to send weird trinkets and scale models of home built choppers in the mail. "Any chance his name is Al Snow?" It WAS! Said some lunatic in Florida would call up and buy a few at a time. Years later was at a bike shop and they had a stack of old magazines they were selling. He would go on and on about the good old days. So here is a tangent.There is a loon in Florida named Alvin Snow, was on a Japanese chopper forum years ago and had his 1970s Chopper featured in a few magazines including I think EasyRiders "Readers rides" or the letters sections. I have several stacks of vintage mags, now collectable and I have had offers for them. For a while, especially during the Harley Boom of the 1990s and early 2000s, they would not feature anything that was cool, and only HD, but in the old days it was Honda chops, Triumphs BSA, Kawasaki and anything with 2 wheels although at times some anti Japanese bike themes, but still would feature a cool 1970s Honda chop or similar. I DO respect Arlen in creating a product and riding the wave, but his stuff was never my taste and just seem like a coke addled nightmare. I moved on to Iron Horse which was cooler, featured all kinds of bikes, Not just Arlen Ness vomit inducing cheesiness. But by the 1990s it was totally cheesy and I lost interest. So, back in the 1980s I used to read them a lot, there was a time period they were pretty cool, Spider, Miraculous Mother, Riding with RIP, and David Mann Paintings, "Leg wettin' Biker fiction" as well as some of the cartoons, totally un-PC material and legal and legislative info was cool. ![]() Click on the events tabs and seems things are in turmoil there too.
