I don't have any living room furniture, so I put the rolling frame in a prominent spot.

Purchased the rolling frame
My first motorcycle was a 1971 Yamaha R5. I purchased it at a garage sale for $15, from my high school economics teacher in 1991. It had not been running for years, but I was able to get it going and learned to ride on it.
Today I drove to Niles, Michigan and purchased my second R5-- also a '71. The price was right but it's missing a few important things, i.e. an engine etc. On a positive note, it does have a title!
