Redbirds... My first bike was a 1971 Yamaha CT175 that I had when I was 17 and 18 and I loved that bike. A few years ago, I thought I might like to have one again. Low and behold, one day I spotted one on eBay and it was in Atlanta, just a few miles south of Cumming where I live. So I rang the guy up and went down to look at it and he let me take it for a ride down the street. I brought it back and we stood around and talked about it but I walked away. He only wanted $800 for it and it looked and seemed to run just fine. The problem was that it felt so small. Yet I was 6 ft tall back then too... Moral of the story... you can't go back.
