"Give your gal a break, let her ride side saddle not straddle."

Nothing says safety like sitting sideways on a motorcycle.
Nothing says passenger pleasure like having her straddle it.
A picture from one of my favorite sites (Shorpy) on another one of my favorite sites (Hooniverse). According to this post:

it's a 1928 Henderson Deluxe.
Bill also could not understand why his dates kept falling off when he take a fast corner.
Maybe using a motorcycle to transport 75foot palm trees wasn't the best idea, he thought.

My brief search for a picture of a palm tree or a box of dates on a bike was unsuccesful, mostly because i accidentally found this "Girl on old bike" thread
here's a couple from the first page of 700+ pages…

Race car is a palindrome it's funny!
I actually pedaled a date 5km down to the city once on a motorless bike. She insisted it was okay before we left. Every time we meet now there is one or another dirty joke about tenderized meat. Obviously, this is not the gal that became my wife. Lesson learned: Get a car!
OT
Been thinking about wheels for Astrid the Amazon wagon. I always like panasports and replicas, think they look great, but have two other sort of crazy ideas:

I would get ones without the Ford on the dog dish, it's just to show the contrast with the red. I would likely get gray first and then paint it another color like orange (Astrid is green, pretty much BRG). Also some older Amazons came with dishes.
Maybe I should give a photo of Astrid: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak… It's hard to tell, but she has a cow catcher too.
This is what panasport replicas looks like on a 220: https://www.ipdusa.com/uploads/images_newsletters…
Astrid looks lively right now. But if you need to change something, the orange dog dish combo sounds nice.
Thanks, not too retro looking then. I just got a flat and wanted taller tires anyway, going to 15×6 wheels is one way to do it. Another is trailer tires on white wagon wheels. I'd dig the reinforced sidewalls, but worry about the cost to handling. I wonder just how bad it could be… Also maybe there is some crazy tall but thin snow tire out there 😉
