Here's a few bikes that passed through my hands in the pre-MotoEuro Garage era. |

|
1966? Yamaha 80 Trailmaster.
First bike, $325. Along with the |
1970 Yamaha CT-1. Got into dirt riding and enduros. This shot during winter of 1971 shows it with lights removed, new knobbies, etc. Taken somewhere near Vernon, NJ. |
In
1972 upgraded to a Yamaha CT-2. Put a 21" front on it, fork brace and Curnutt shocks. The reed valve motor had a lot more mid-range, big improvement over the CT-1. |
Soon there was an arms race among the riding buddies. When Scott showed up with an Ossa Pioneer, I countered with this 1972 Bultaco Alpina 250. For more on this old warhorse go to the Alpina page. |
There were several others for which I unfortunately have no photos. The
ones I recall include: If
I think of any others, I'll update this list. |
|
The
one that got away. I bought this 1977 Honda 400/4 with 700 miles on it. It was the last bike I bought in NJ before moving to FL. Sold in the early 90's with 2400 miles and still pristine. |
