At just 12 years old, I was allowed to ride it under strict supervision and very limited speed, area, etc.
Not sure of the model, but I'd guess from the mid or late 50's? Would be a collector bike today, properly restored.
The same neighbor had a bud with a Ducati single "scrambler", my first taste of Ducati. They worked on them in his garage. Ducatis were always reveled as special, even back then in the early 60's.
I remember discussions prior to buying..."how is it for parts"? He then ended up with a CB160...a screamer in its day, and a local supporting dealer close by. Years later, also my first legal street bike...but no pics. Till the late 70's-80's when cameras became more accessible.
Here's my '78 XS750 Yamaha, my first NEW bike. Worked at the dealer, the owner cut me a helluva deal. Again, a lousy old paper picture.
