It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

170 MPG ... beats a banana to get to first base ! 😆
Wish you'd held onto it? If I had held onto the cars of my youth, I'd have a stable full of classics!
I had Suzuki’s version of that, it came with the hotrod kit with the stinger exhaust. 15hp at 1,000,000 rpm. My ears are still ringing.
I loved those little Jap bikes. My first bike was a Honda 175 Scrambler, with the high pipes, good for street or trail! I just loved that little motorcycle. Bought that bike in 1970.
Don't care about the monkee or the bike. Annette was my first girlfriend. I think I was 7 when I fell in love with her. Sadly she never answered my letter, I was crushed. 😥

I tore my 350 Honda apart to rebuilt so many times I could have done it blindfolded .
Had a 79cc Suzuki. Two chains- choose which one you wanted- on or off road. Swear that little bike could climb a tree. Top speed about 40- with a tail wind!
They were actually made thru 1969 . I had a 1967 as my first dirt bike in 1968. It rotated thru a half dozen neighborhood owners after I first sold it . I bought it back about 10 years ago . Some low life druggies,actually myniece and her boyfriendwho stole it and sold it at a scrap yard a few years ago along with a lot of other items .
