Allstate Cruisaire and Famous James


On the left is an Allstate Cruisaire that belonged to my friend, George. The Famous James on the right belonged to my other friend, Bob. He bought the James from me. I rode it for more than a year and when we moved from Florida to Tennessee, I had to part with it. He added the windshield, but I was a bug-in-the-teeth rider. I had very little money for gasoline, and could not afford a windshield. Florida had plenty of bugs in those days. A large palmetto bug hit me over the eye once and almost knocked me off that motorcycle.
