Default 250cc BSA

BSA 250cc in 1964, the year it fell apart, not the year it was made

After numerous minibikes, a Honda CM91.
I still own one (not the original), for nostalgia sake . . .

First bike was Suzuki GSXR 600 about 12 yrs ago. Growing up my uncles had Harleys and I always like the way they looked and sounded. I knew one day when I could afford it I'd have one. I bought my first and current Harley 3 yrs ago.

Not counting the Honda 250 hand me down I had to rebuild the carbs for to get working, my first bike was an '88 EX500. Always knew I'd have a Harley even then - when I got the dough.

a Bridgestone 175 much like this one



at the tender age of 13 I was king. My friends had Honda Cubs and Super Cubs and one had a Kawi something. But mine was biggest and fastest.
