You aren't from Western PA, are you? That's exactly how I started and exactly the same bike. I was illegally riding a Honda CL175 as a freshman in high school until I got my license.
aged 17 on an ajs model 14 250cc. couldn't afford a bike til i started work full time :haw:
cheers, gil.
Minibike, throttle used to stick all the time. The last time it did I rammed it into a hay bale, so much for that.
My first bike was a Harley Davidson Leggero (Aermacchi) at 14. Wished I still had it. I rode the daylights out of that little bike.
