I believe Mr Swan is a big fan of the Yamaha YG1 Great film Gerard

[Steve Swan]

Gerard, those are fantastic !

here's a couple pics of my YG1's, unmolested YL1 and my Bridgestone dream bike i'd love to own.  These small scale motorcycles form the 60's are very very cool and very very rideable.  i rode a YG1 to work for 2 years, they are needle bearing rod bearings, back in the day, 20k miles was not uncommon.

It's good to preserve those old bikes... They are very beautiful...You can be proud of !!

Thanks !  Between 2005 -2009, I was obsessed with 60's era Yamahas.  Have always wanted a Bridgestone 350 GTO.....

I like all Japanese motorcycles from 1963 to 1969, After I find that they are less atypical, but I love the Bridgestone 350 and I even bought the Partlist me that is useless. Just for pleasure!!
Too bad they have abandoned their production because of the pressure made by other Japanese manufacturers but especially by Honda Kawasaki....
