My first bike was a 1937 Norton 500cc single piston hardtail, an old army bike. I got it in 1965 from some friends of my brother and spent the next 2 years building it with their help. I only got to ride it for a little over one season 'cause some SOB stole it. My brothers friends put out the word but no one ever found it so they got me a '49 BSA 250 twin, also on baskets. I never got that one on the road, having to go to college.

But some days I really do miss that old Norton.
