Pictures previously published in iron horse magazine.

In the twenty one years since iron horse first appeared on the stands, a lot has changed. The magazine originally was a spinoff of Easyriders, whose readership was pretty much Harley-only. So Paisano created the Bi-Monthly chopper rag, allowing both Japanese and Euro chops to mix with the Harley longbikes within.

This page is just to give the younger readers a taste of the early issues, as well as to remind the old-timers of the 'roots' as it were. Some of these pictures are rather large, so click on the thumbnails to see the whole picture, remember these pictures are old, so the quality won't be what we expect today.
