V10 motorcycle

[Frank S]

Yep he never bought me a car or a bike but I would work on them along with him. sometimes I might drive or ride them a week or a month then they always came up sold. when I bought something and fixed it up I rode it or drove it until the wheels turned square then pushed it off to the side and used it for parts or until I found parts to get it going again. when I went into the Army a few months after turning 17 I owned an acre full of old cars pickups motorcycles and tractors. After getting stationed as permanent party on the same Ft where I had taken basic and my MOS AIT training me and a Sgt friend of mine negotiated to buy the inventory of a defunct motorcycle shop hauled all of the junk bikes to his house. rented a u Haul trailer and went to my parents home then loaded up all of my junk bikes and the couple that ran. Since I had gotten married my wife and I rented half his house from him. He and I would work evenings and weekends when ever we had time available to fix up a few bikes and sold them We were both making nearly as much on the side as either of our Army pay was. This lasted about 6 moths until H came down on orders to Germany, Shortly thereafter I took an early reenlistment to leave Ft Polk but by them we were down to 1 running bike between us and a couple of cars and a little scrap.
