Cool picture and I just know someone is going to say they wish you could buy a motorcycle for 35 dollars nowadays just remember 35 dollars back then was a month or more wages for the average worker and many made a lot less

So what do you make a month, would probably still be less comparatively speaking for a motorcycle
