*PICS* My First Motorcycle.........

[308nato]

.....was purchased by me new in 1972 and looked like this.

31 years and approximately 70 some odd motorcycles later, it lives again. You never forget your first🙂

My oldest son has shown himself worthy to ride. Most of the bikes he has grown up around are "radical" in one way or another so I let him decide how he wanted us to restore it. It was a father/son project all the way and I had as much fun doing this one as any I ever attempted.

I took a couple of pics in the front yard before he got a chance to high side it. I haven't been able to pry him off of it. He followed me around the field on it the entire rest of the harvest. I wish I was 8 years old again. These are large pics but I am on a 28.8 in the boonies so no whining.

The new stuff is technologically superior in many ways, but, entirely void of character.

I have a stretched front end and a raked frame for one of those if you want it.

EDIT: Damn, my speeling sucks this morning

Heh. Sounds like someone was

trying to make a Suzuki OR50 the cheap way. The OR that was orange with flames was the best.
