Six of 'em in 1963. Only got four left.

My wrenching career started by turning crashed bikes into runners at Fred's Cycle Wreckers in Oakland, California. The Parillas were in a big pile and felt to be too junky to fix up. We were wrong. Very wrong. I sure wish I had them today.

What... did you give up riding in 64 :roll: I surmise you ride one till it quits and then start on the next one. :-D
I always thought you might be a closet biker :cheers:

Stan what happened to the Roadster? I hope you still have it.
Boy, if I only would have kept my 29 pickup which I sold for $300 in 1964, or the 60 Corvette I sold for a grand in 1967........................... :-( :-P :-(

Bob --
That's the same car in my avatar. In April it will be 50 years. Used to hold the B & C / Street Roadster records at Bonneville. Now just got the El Mirage C record left -- and usually in jeopardy.
Had a buddy keep the Parilla during my unwanted Army "career". Agree with Wobbly, they weren't real durable. I never was a good rider any who. Couldn't turn right. Made it hard to get some places.

The many left hand turns needed makes short trip real long!

Many years ago I worked for a guy who had a clapped out '56 Ford pickup with a screwed up steering box. It would only turn left. You had to plan your trips accordingly. :roll: Wayno

Shoulda kept the Parilla.
