He made payments on the bike until it was paid for....$83 & change
I’m sure that was a pile back then
Also said it was Black & Red w/chrome fenders & leather seat.
Said he installed a speedometer on it & put over 1,000mi. on that bike.
Wow... delivering telegrams. Haven’t heard of that job for a kid. Most kids back then were delivering papers or selling ice cream bars.

And $83 would probably Be like a $1000 in todays money

Good story
