i was in the Air Force stationed in NH in the mid 70's crewing FB-111's, and a friend and i bought a pair of Austro Daimlers.. mine was the ADSL and his was the model below that. SLE i think it was. i traded up to a Vent Noir with my tax return, and we rode many miles around the coast almost every day until he got orders to Iceland and i got shipped out to clark in the philipines. the bike was my 2 wheeled jet fighter, and the thrill of riding a high quality bike (i didn't know it was high quality then... i just liked the flat black and gold) with my 24 year old legs was amazing. i had a jim blackburn rear rack that i strapped a banana on, and he brought a doober, and we would stop at fort constitution by the coast guard station for a mid ride snack and a few hits off that joint before finishing our high speed pass by wentworth by the sea and back to Portsmouth. i still have that Vent Noir, but with 64 year old knees...
