1941 Servi Cycle Photo taken in 1952 or 1953
« on: September 17, 2016, 06:41:28 AM »
This is a photo of the 1941 Servi Cycle I owned way back when.  My parents bought it for me in about 1949.  It had an H model engine and was the subject of many paint jobs and mods.  Looks like a rat rod even by the standards of the day.

   I like the look of it without the front fender on.  Kind of shows off the springer front end.

That's a great photo!  Being a kid growing up in the 70's, I wish my parents would have bought me a minibike.

That bike only cost $25 but it was significant expense at the time.  My parents did a lot for my brother and I and we probably did not show them enough appreciation.  Too bad that realization comes after it's too late to do any thing about it.
