Re: 1974 Yamaha Moto-Bike
saw the pine knew it before i read the description. nothing compares to riding 30+ miles in a subtropical swamp land at 100 degrees with 85% humidity, i ride in it every day with love and anticipation, anything less saddens me

Re: 1974 Yamaha Moto-Bike
I would ride down the street about five houses and jump garbage cans about 20 feet long on a standard bike. I thought I was evil knevil and my dad came home with one just like this one. I loved that bike and rode it all the time. I recently saw it at my parents garage and I am rebuilding it for my son.
