My 1st Bike Started Life Looking Like This, Before I saw It!
« on: January 14, 2009, 06:56:54 PM »


       Yep, my first ride started out lif looking like this (a Jawa 50cc Pioneer), until my Dad and another fellow got hold of it. ;D  Now, when I saw it for the 1st time, it had a regular frame with the engine up IN the frame, not hanging from it and looking like a Moped. It had a BSA Bantam gas tank mounted on it right above the engine. Gone was all that sheet metal and heavy fenders. 20" bicycle fenders were put on there instead. the bike was painted black except for the silver gas tank. Guess you all are gonna have to use your imagination until I can get to where I can post photos again. :( Unless someone can make an attempt to "Doctor" the photo below.

                     


         Still have it BTW and maybe I can get it back up into shape later on this year and take some new photos. ;)

       :D :)

       Good One, only it wasn't that color or look, by the time I saw it. the frame and forks were gloss black and the gas tank was silver and it had more of a "motorcycle" look, even though it was a bit small for a bike.
