1982 Torker L.P.
1982 Torker L.P.
Obviously not rare but rare to me. I have never seen another Torker in person in my life.
Bought it off an older neighbor kid in Beckley, WV around 1983 for $75. Rode the hell out of it on trails all over southern WV. It was my prized possession for many years. My parents were nice enough to store it for the last 25 years or so.. Picked it up for my son at my parents a few months ago. Took it in to a local bike shop to get it tuned up and running again and picked it up today. Made me happy to see my own boy flying around on it in the parking lot and the streets when we got home. Nicest bike he'd ever seen or rode he told me..

Beautiful Torker and story 
I know $75 was a fair bit back then, but sounds like quite a deal to me for a 1-year old Torker...!

Survivor,
It was a lot for me then. I had $50 saved from cutting grass and was trying to borrow $25 from my Dad. He wouldn't loan it to me so I had to borrow it off a couple other friends.. The guy selling it liked me so he was decent and waited. Otherwise, he could have sold it elsewhere immediately.
Good memories.. Probably the best deal I ever got on anything in my life.
Thanks for the comments,
