Blast From The Past

[2017EX_imp]

This was my first street bike, bought new in 1965. A Harley Davidson badged M-50 Aermacchi 50cc 2 stroke with twist grip shift. Now this isn't the exact bike, that was gone from my possession in 1966 when I bought a CB 160 (which was gone in 1968 when I bought a CL 77 305 scrambler, which was gone in 1969 when I bought a CB 350 et cetera lol), but I walked into my local dealer and he had added this particular M-50 to his collection. He paid $3400. I paid $318 for mine in 1965 lol

Ferret, great pic! I think humble beginnings resulting in numerous upgrades over the years, was the rule rather than the exception for most, if not all of us. I can still vividly remember the "ring ding ding ding" of my two strokers to this day..
