I bought it last year and have added a few things since then.

Man I love the exhaust on that bike. SWEET! Need to find something similar for my 99 sporty 883.

A 3hp mini bike "1967" was my first gas powered
ride. My first motorcycle was a Brand new 1972
Honda CL 100 K2. The sad part is it was bought
with the money that my granddaddy left to my daddy.
My last bike is an 07 RKC. The sad part is that it will be paid
for with the money that my mother left me when she died
6/3/2010. I would trade the best bike that I haver had
for my mother back

My first bike was a Scooter, a 'Cushman Eagle', many people probably never even heard of them, they had a suicide clutch and a shift lever controlled by the left hand, I can';t believe how much them things are worth now...

A brand new BSA 441 Victor in 1967 or 68, can't remember for sure. Paid $ 795 dollars for it and had to finance some of that, the payments were the princely sum of $21 dollars a month. A lot of money then.

I wanted a Cushman Eagle in the early '50s ( I was 12 may 13 at the time)but my mom wouldn't let me get one, she said only "hodlums" rode motorcycles. Now it's hard to find a "hodlum" on a motorcycle.

1971 Suzuki TS-125 bought in '73. But I did have a minibike four years earlier that I rode the wheels off of.
