Saw one of the original "American Honda" 1961 Chevrolet pickups

[Inhouse Bob]

Not many Honda dealerships back then.
If I recall correctly, I was the only one in high school with a Honda.
Quite a few scooters.

My first bike: 1962 CA110 (49cc Super Sport), purchased used, 6 months old, March 1963

Photo not my actual bike...no photos of it remain.

Ahh...nostalgia!

In 1965, Bill, my best friend in High School got a C110 50cc sport. I wanted one just like his and convinced my dad that although I was only 15 I needed transportation to my after school job and he, being a motorcyclist, agreed a motorcycle was the best alternative. We went down to the only Honda mc dealership in Cincy to look at them, but he didnt care for the plastic front fender (or Japanese stuff in general since he was a WW 2 vet.) He took me down to the Harley Dealer where he did business and they carried these Italian Aermachhi 50cc 2 strokes badged Harley Davidsons, called M-50's. They had metal fenders, so thats what I got. (Dad never did figure out the Japanese and Italians were on the same side in WW2). I liked Bill's C110 a lot better, but at least I was on 2 wheels. Still am.... on Honda's too!

My 65 Harley M 50 was like this one my collector buddy has

Really cute!
Bike is cute, too
