i still have my first bike a suzuki trailhopper and then i bought a suzuki ts50 i sold it to buy a yamaha lt2 100 which i still have. i have looked for years to replace the ts50 and missed on a few of them. i got lucky and scored this one 5 minutes from the bosses house. he was nice enough to pick it up and store it for me. the picture in the back of the truck is his. thanks again chris.

I have one of those, a '71. It was a true barn find, it had been parked for probably 30 years or more. The motor was seized so that was a bunch of work to fix, but cosmetically it's about 90% original and just needed a lot of cleaning. Your TS50 looks real clean.

thats it, i still remember like yesterday when i bought it. just a few days later i had a wreck on it that put me in the hospital. my dad was a home builder and owned like 4 lots side by side and my buddies and i made a track on them. a neighbor that hated the fact that we rode our motorcycles on it, dug a big hole in the night and covered it with weeds and dirt. when i went over it, the front tire hit the other side of it propelling me several feet and i hit my head on a big rock. it cracked a bell helmet down the middle. lucky i didnt break my neck. i remember the police talking to the guy but with no proof nothing ever happened legally. i do remember he put his house up for sale and moved right after that.

Hopefully he didn't move away before your Dad could meet him in a dark alley and work him over.
