Saw this at the Texas Folklife Festival (TFF) about a week back.
The TFF is held here every June to celebrate the contributions of all the diverse ethnic cultures that helped make the State what it is.
The cultures being Scottish, Czech, Irish, English, German, Polish, Mexican, Jewish, and Black along with a load others.
Inside the Institute of Texas Cultures are permanent displays that help show who the groups were and some of their history and outside are vendors selling their wares, mainly food along with bands and dancers and such.
In the lower level of the Institute were the modern conveniences of which the womens had a line, so while waiting for Teri, Bodger had a meander about checking things out when he came across this:
The only details I remember was that some old boy rode this to SA for a TFF back sometime in the 70s and it seems that he played steel drums or the Congas and brought the empty oil drums behind the bike with him to play. Apparently he decided to stay nd the bike was put on permanent display.
See if you cah ID this........Bodgers guess is a Honda or possibly Suzuki step through.

Looks like a Honda CT-90 from the late sixties-early 70's, with the very desirable extra gas containor...the thing that looks like a canteen hanging from the rack.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a 70 or 90 as well.
