This 1952 advertisement for Buco motorcycle apparel is addressed to both men and women, which sets it apart from many riding ads of the period that spoke only to male riders. Buco was known for heavy leather jackets and protective gear designed for the road. By the early 1950s motorcycling had become a popular postwar pastime, and an ad that invites women to buy riding clothes reflects how the sport was reaching a wider audience.
