Meet my new friend
2004 Suzuki Volusia Intruder,
VL-800 |

Graylyn is a far cry from my
first ride back in 1965 This beauty was a 1965, 80-cc, Suzuki Hillbilly I got it in 1965 for my 14th birthday. She sported 4.9 horsepower of 2-stroke madness and sounded like 2000 angry bumblebees caught in a tin wash bucket. But for 2 1/2 years this little rice-burner took me and my baby brother all over the greater Oklahoma City area. Suzuki's theme song of "Solo Suzuki" was a misnomer, 'cause this puppy was an honest-to-gosh chick magnet,,, or maybe the chick magnet was my brother Tommy,,, from the time he was 6 months until he was 2 1/2 years old, he sat in front of me and we rode the wild streets of Oklahoma City. |
