1973(maybe) Yamaha RD250 great bike, wish I still had it.

 

In 1964 I traded a Colt Huntsman .22 Pistol for an old Vespa Scooter, year unknown. Sometimes I would have to push it a half mile or so to get it to start, but what a joy to go smoking, literally, down the road. It had no headlight, the rim was broken and couldn't be fixed, no front spring, as it rode on a piece of wood to keep the front tire from binding, but it had two wheels

1971 Yammie 360 enduro, man I was 15&1/2 what a thrill. $900.00 out the door. Saved from my paper route, think Dad loaned me some

 

1958 Harley Davidson Hummer 165......wish I still had it in my pen!!

 

I was about 12 or 13 and bought a 1940s Indian Pony that the owner took apart and could not put back together. Cost me $4.50.
Made a big profit on that. Sold it for $15.
Never could get it started. The kick start leg was missing and all I could do was push it up a hill and try to jump start it when coasting down. Didn't know anything about timing, so took it to Jack Tacy's brother a former Indian mechanic to set up. Jack Tracy owned the local Harley dealership.
I was lucky it didn't start. Found out one side of the gas tank had a hidden split underneath, all along the frame.
