Adventure riding, 1940s-style

In a way, this propaganda clip sums up almost every controversial ADVRider thread ever, including:

  • “How do I carry a gun on a motorcycle?”
  • “How big is too big for off-roading?”
  • “Do I need aftermarket suspension?”
  • “Which is better, soft luggage or hard luggage?”
  • “Do I really need ATGATT?”

Of course, ATGATT during this particular time period included a Tommy gun, but didn’t require a helmet. Errant cagers probably were less likely to cut you off when confronted with the possibility of having to deal with the Chicago Typewriter … unless they were driving a tank. But seriously, these guys were a bunch of traffic cops that we would never give any backtalk.
