1985- Bicycle to Motorcycle
Had a buddy back in the 70's and early 80's and we ran around together. One day he rode up on a pristene perfect '70 R50/5. Wasn't long and he was telling me to buy the silver R50 from his dad. I liked the idea, but a motorcycle; danger Will Robinson. Was riding my Schwinn Contenintal II north on the service road next to I-55. Wind was out of the south, blowin steady. I was riden pretty fast, my hands never touched the handlebars. I rode in a upright postion and used my torso as a sail. It was perfectly quiet, I think I was averaging over 30 mph. Great, till I turned around and headed south. Hard pedaling, the wind noise was even worse. On that ride, was when I made the decision, Buy the Bike.
