1958 Lambretta, I was about 5-6 years old, home movie around 1964. The owner of Grandpa's farm was $$$ and traveled the world, he sent 2 home from Italy in the crate and gave one to Grandpa. I had it in town riding at 16, 1975. It's gone now and $$$$$$. Dad told me to come and get it about 10 years ago, still running, I put it off and he gave it away or buried it.
Dad would take me and my brother all over the country and fields, the dog would sit at my feet, I could stand and my brother could sit behind dad.
