Went out yesterday with my cousin, Brett (also a member here). He was on one of my bikes and I was on the other. Both are family heirlooms. Dark blue was a bike I sold to my mother. I bought it in about 1999, sold it to her soon after, she left it to my brother,Paul (who is also a member here) then it went to Mom's cousin Gary (who is also a member here. See a trend?) and now back to me. The light blue SR belonged to a family friend and I think he bought it new. My Dad bought it in about 79 or 80, sold it in the late 80's and I recovered it in 1994. Guess I'm nostalgic like that. I Restored the SR and my brother and cousin rebuilt the B model for Mom after the engine locked up. These will eventually be passed down to my two sons.
