:salute: It comes home next trip. no room at the in right now. truck full with trailer for 1500 and old 30's vintage cabinet radio wife bought :help: :help:

That would be interesting to restore and ride to local car shows.. .. not much fading or rusting showing in the photos

She get an Atwater Kent cabinet? .. radio inside? .. I have found some places to get parts for them...

 

[tuna boy]

Would it be rude to ask what you paid? I think they made a 350 twin that looked pretty sporty.

My first street ride experience was on a Bridgy, lots of memories there, good find.

 

[toytender01]

Paid $00000.00 Comes from a cousin :smilie_happy: Don'T know WHY, don't need it. Just don't like to see it just sitting there in the open just crying for somone to fix it. Just going to resque it from a grave in emmett Idaho

 

[Ansimp]

Well done Bob, good luck with the rescue/ restoration. :good:
I had to read up on wiki/etc to learn of their short lived history that was basically an internal company squabble ( tires won out)

 

[joedrum]

the 350 gto bridstone was a fast bike

 

[weightlifter99]

The body/frame setup on these looked identical to the old Hondas in the late 60's early 70's. The old cb models. Wonder if there was some sharing there like there is today between the Japanese car and bike companies. Sure does appear so!

 

[Joep]

Seems to me that the phrase ujm universal Japanese motorcycle came out in the late 60's because they resembled one another.. I know that I saw a Yamaha that looked allot like that with tank and frame set up.. but I was younger then and not able to ride yet.. mom was concerned because our family doctor's son died in a cycle crash..

 

[weightlifter99]

This would make sense on the ujm phrase as for the first glance I took at this bike looked like and older Honda til I got a glimpse of the 2 stroker underneath. These were still decent bikes and great at the time. Not a canyon carver or cross-country tourer but for local around town and short rides these would get you there and sometimes fairly quickly too!

Looks like a fun project!!!! Emmett Idaho? You'll be right in my neck of the woods. I drive through Emmett about once or twice a month, it's only about 25 miles from me! Gets pretty dry here in the high desert. Vehicles can sit here for a long time without rusting.
