I borrowed a Cushman Eagle but the 1st bike I owned was a Yamaguchi 50 , the company became Hodaka. soon afterwards I got a used Harley Davidson 175 Scat . both were 2 stroke and you can see the [ Italian Harley ] had no rear shocks but two coil springs under the bottom of the engine [ you can see the rust in this picture on one of them ] one snapped into so I road with only one . If it would have also snapped the bike would have folded up going down the road but I was 13 YO , weighed about 90 Lbs and had no brain so as long as it ran I rode it. also poured motor oil in the gas which was my idea of premix !
