This incredible little bike was bought new by my mum in 1975. She learned to ride on this bike so she and my dad could go riding together. Since then, my two younger brothers, wife, son and nephew have all learned to ride a motorcycle using this humble little machine.
In the early 80's both my brother an I used the bike to commute to and from work each day. That's roughly 40 miles per day, or a week for less then $2.00.
The pictures above show the bike from the first day in 1975 all the way to the end of 2011 when it went to Ottawa and eventually found a new home in a motorcycle collection.
