Cool story. I had a '63 Beezer GoldStar Twin 650cc while in high school that I kept at a friends garage, not far from my home. I had Glee Club for 6th period and used to ditch it often to cruise on my Beezer.I still passed though, as I was the only one in school that could play the bagpipe and the glee clubs teachers name was McTaggart!
Growing up is hard to do. I'm now getting my '68 HD ready for the HD 100 B'Day Bash.
I was a limey bike nut in the 60's. Had an old BSA 500 one-lunger, several Triumphs, Matchless's, AJS's, etc.
