I've posted this one before, but couldn't resist doing it again.

saw one back in the time, but didn't get the chance to ride it. $:-\$
For those who don't know, it's a 63' Yamaha 250cc Ascot
Scrambler.

Yeah Terry, I think they did. I'm thinking it was either the VT500 or the FT500. Could be wrong, but that's my thoughts anyway.
