Name the Bike

I know what it is, do you?
Can you name the bike and tell us about it?

I'm guessing its the old Harley Davidson, from the 70's when they bought that Spanish or south american company and made smaller bikes for a few years.

It's an Aermacchi Harley Davidson Sprint 350.

Funny this should come up now. I was up at the Biker Barn in Blairsville, GA this last weekend and a lady walked in wanting to sell him an old Harley Aermacchi. Said she was cleaning out a barn and found her ex's old bike.

Ah memories. A buddy of mine had one when we were kids (16 or so). He was cruising down a trail we all used to ride and didn't realize it had washed out from some heavy rains. Plowed it right into the opposite vertical bank. Kid was picking gravel out of his skin for a week.

Doing construction on the road as a 20 something year old. Guy had one in Milwaukee (sacrilege right?). He found the need to tear it down and didn't want to do it on the street (bad neighborhood). We carried that stupid thing up two flights of stairs to an apartment we were living in so he could work on it. Then we got to carry it back down afterwards. They're pretty heavy.

Looked just like this one. That danged pipe must've weight 40 lbs by itself.

I had one like this when I was in high school. Was not as nice looking and I pretty much tore the hell out of it

Traded up to a street legal Honda 250 Scrambler to get to school and ride trails on the weekends, lots of fun on both bikes.

I love those old Hondas.

Nope, not a Suzuki.

It's a Bridgestone, there were a couple of guys here that had them.
Very fast, I'm not sure of the CC's though.
I'll guess 175?

Yes we have a winner. It was pretty quick for a 175 and I thought I was sh*t hot, 17, metal flake helmet and a fringed buckeskin jacket.
