My dad bought a CB 160 Honda when I was in the first grade 1960, not sure if it was brand new or used. He hurt his back when I was 10 and he gave me the bike. When I first got it I couldn't reach the ground so we took the seat off and had a rolled up piece of throw rug for padding. I would ride that bike non stop all summer. If I went up a hill and couldn't make it I would just have to bail out and let it go, as it was too heavy for me to handle. Too many times to remember taking it home and Dad having to do some repairs. Rode that bike until in my late teens then bought a 250 Yamaha endure in 1971. Never should have got rid of those bikes.
