Athens Motorcycle Police...

Athens is a town north of Atlanta that is well known as being the home of UGA. It's also a breeding ground for hippies, artists, musicians and various oddballs. There isn't much surrounding that town and I can just imagine how podunk it was 75-100 years ago, even though UGA has been there since 1785.

Here are some pics of the Athens Motorcycle Police early in the 20th century. Most are on 1925 JD Harleys, while the last one is a group shot of 1947 Knuckleheads.

Football starts next weekend, so I'll be tearing it up in Athens on Saturdays...hopefully I can avoid these fellers while I'm there.
