This oil-leaking, hard-to-find-parts-for 1973 Aermacchi Harley-Davidson taught me a lot about zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance.

One of the infamous 6n1s?

Work on it for 6 days and run it for one.

Classmate / neighbor had one of those in HS in 1970.

That has a real funky looking engine! Not my beloved V-Twin! :-)

My buddy had one of those back in the 70s.
He called it his “Hardly” Davidson.

Looks a lot like my first bike - a 74 Yamaha TX-650. I could hit 90 mph in 2nd gear - quite the ride for a 17 year old.

I had the 350... need I say more... but loving the challenge de Italiano I had a Ducati 160 desmo, and the 250 before I swore off Italian iron, but not before the Guzzi Ambassador.

Sold the Suzuki and got a Kawasaki Concourse. Great and dependable bike. But to heavy. Traded for a Ducati Monster that after 3 months I knew would kill me. Switched to sports cars and got a Honda S2000.
