OK, I've got a new poll for you guys. What's the oldest bike you've swung a leg over and ridden. The only qualifier is you had to have gone at least around the block on it.

Mine was a 52 Harley. I rode it for about a year.

This one, 1963 Honda Dream 150, I re-built it for my Dad awhile back for his birthday.
We use it to run between the office and the shop.... plus uptown to get a soda, and, well hell we run the snot out of the little scoot.

I have two of those in my driveway right now, both '64s. I'm trying to get one good bike out of the two.

So far it's been buddy's '76 KE175, until my '71 DT1 350 is on the road, which I am hoping will be in 2-3 weeks.

My secret pleasure was riding the 57 James that me & my brother bought & gave away to a friend. it was a "don't get so far away that you can't push it to a phone booth" kinda bike, but a hoot to drive for short distances. My buddy still has it.
