My gosh, Bill, what was your major - Rocket Science?

I was involved with road racing and had done model airplanes and gokarts as a kit.

I remember the Puch as the Sears Allstate 250.

It was. Sears also sold a 175 Puch under the Allstate name. The 250s were unique in that they had two cylinders operating as a single cylinder. They were called twingles of split singles.

I started with a Cushman Eagle, then a 8 hp Cushman Super Eagle

My first bike (@ 14)was an ancient Harley W45 that was so worn that a Cushman Eagle could beat me away from a stop sign.

followed by a ........ 250 cc Zundap

I had a Zundapp Bella scooter that I moved some parts around to make it more like a Challenger/Super Sabre under the tin. Looked like a Buick but went like a rocket.

before I jumped to a 700 cc Norton Atlas at 16.

Nice bike, especially for a 16 yr old. I still have my 750 Atlas. It was kind of piggy until I replaced the 7.6:1 pistons with 10.5:1.

Cars did back then, too.
