Z50A's in Beatles video

[ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=wBe85UKa1GQ&feature=related]YouTube - "something" by the beatles[/ame]

No big deal--thought it was cool though.

Put the video to 1:25 and they're riding Z50's.

Re: Z50A's in Beatles video

Ah, this answers the question I have been trying to find the answer to for years. It was The Beatles who were the first ones to drop acid and ride z50's.
