I work with Jeff.

When he was a teen aged lad, he had a 1968 Yamaha 125 cc 2-cycle motorcycle. At that time, the most powerful bike you could get as a teen was a 125cc. Jeff loved the freedom his bike gave him.

Along the road to today, Jeff gave up his bike for larger, 4-wheeled transportation.

Since fuel costs have risen quite a bit, Jeff went in search of a motorcycle. He found a duplicate of his teen-era Yamaha, in good condition on eBay. He bought it, and if I recall the story, he drove it over 200 miles via back-roads to it’s new home.

Jeff spent some time restoring and bringing the bike back to great condition.

He now uses this very economical bike as a fair-weather means of transport to and from work, using less congested streets (to lessen the potential for a mishap).

Jeff’s saving fuel cost, and getting a thrilling reminder of his teen-aged youth, every time he puts that helmet on and lets the wind whip his face, to and from work. =)

We just happened to leave work at the same time today.
