It was a beautiful motorcycle. I wish I had just put it on display in my living room.

Awesome photos and remembrances. This is a super thread. I simply lack pictures of old stuff...cameras were expensive and it was a rarity to take the time and effort to photo. Today, we effortlessly click the phone and its done.
My '65 CB160 (my first street legal bike, bought for $30) regrettably NO
pics...so many others...no pics. I may have a few other oldies, gotta check further.
