1966 Yamaha 100cc Twin Jet. I have a pic of me and the bike (37 years ago) that I will scan and post. The local bike shop has one just like the one I had and is doing a full restoration. Too cool!

Yes, my friend Randy had one and we rode together quite a bit. It was small, but fast. And not so reliable....

1953 Cushman-Allstate bought in 1959 at twelve yrs of age. Some of the best ridin times of my life were on that thing. It was the beginning of a life of few regrets.

In the mid 70s I got a 72 BSA Lightning 650cc. Rode the hell out of it.
