My Dad bought this bike for Me in 1963 for helping Him tear down an old hospital building,I rode this bike for the summer then traded it off for aa 55 Oldsmobile that fall,over the years I wondered what ever happened to the bike.
A friend that has a farm and I were talking one day and the discussion of our first motorcycle comes up,I told Him that My first bike was a 1957 Harley 125cc model B Hummer,He replies He has three of them,well one of them was the one I rode way back then and NO He would not sell it,bugged Him for a couple of years with the same results,two years ago on Laborday weekend mine wifey and I ws having dinner in a local restaurant when in comes Jerry,walks up to the table and asked if I still wanted to buy that motorcicle,Why Yes I would.
it was in real bad condition as it had been setting out with a lot of other scrap machinery since about 66,it haas been a labor of love and scrounging a lot of parts but here it is today.

 

Wow, that looks great. I wish my vintage 1963 body looked as good! When I sold one of our quads a guy from California bought it and had a shipper pick it up. In the trailer the shipper had a vintage Husquavarna off road bike. I didn't even know they made them. Love seeing the old bikes.

 

Verrry nice. Great story too.
