Aw Steve we know the grit you sold was the newspaper version. We dont eat that down here. That paper sold for 10 cents when I sold them. All I could buy with my profit was a gallon of gas for my BSA bike and gas was only 15 cent a gal

Nope on the rich Steve. Put out soda, chopped cotton, sold pigs and worked on a few log trucks when I was 15 to give my uncle 75.00 for a 125 BSA scrambler. Super little bike. Rode it a long time. Wish I still had it. 1952 BSA Scrambler. Was hard to find parts for so finally traded it for a 150 Harley and that thing was junk. The BSA would run circles around it especially on dirt rds

BSA was the first bike I ever sat on. Belong to my Uncle. Great memories. $75.00 is what I paid for my first car, 1952 Ford. Picked Corn and Hops. Blew all of my money on a Ford. And I still have not learned. My current PU is a Ford. :laugh:

My first car was a 49 Ford 2 door v8. Bought it from my dad when I was 17 on time. Got the keys when I made him the last payment. Wish I still had it. Lowered in back fender skirts dual pipes and twin rear antennas. This was in 57

Has anybody heard if Rod has come out of hibernation yet? Or is he still curled up in an electric blanket, sitting next to the fireplace?? :laugh: :laugh:
My first bike was a 1949 Harley pan head. Paid $50.00 for it. Suicide clutch and tank shift. Kept it for six months then sold it after I cracked the transmission case. Oh well!!
