Nice find scrambler! It sounds like there's some interesting history being discussed, too bad it's so hard to follow with the translation. I'd love to read it properly done.  :D

I actually saw it posted somewhere and knew it needed to be posted here.

When I look at the above picture I find it almost comical.

I'm going to go down to the beach and sit on my Bridgestone and smoke a cigarette with a pondering look on my face while I watch the waves crash in.....

I love these old motorcycle covers and also enjoy reading the corny advertisement.

Thanks for posting however the translation was hard going and I eventually gave up.


Don't forget the yellow cap Scrambler. :D

He's waiting for his ship to come in. Or he's looking east toward Illinois, waiting for Mr. Emery to order some Bridgestones.

 Nice find chock full of info. If you read it a little sideways and backwards it seems to make more sense. I particularly like the date and time line info. Very cool.  Mark

Were the shape of the engine covers inspired by the shape of sea shells?

I think he's just finished his shift as a welder, he still has his welding gloves on. :D
