Hi, my name is Andy Bayliss. My hummer is a 1956b1093. I bought my bike back in 1982, when I was 12 years old. I rode it for a few years and then decided I needed something bigger and faster. After selling it, I kept tabs on it for a few years and then lost track of it. I always kicked myself for letting it go. In 2001, my dad called me and said he was at a yard sale and there was an old Harley hummer there and he wondered if it might be mine. I said "check the serial number, mine was 56b1093". I remembered it all those years because it rhymed. He checked and sure enough it was my bike, but in much worse shape. I said buy it back, I don't care what it costs. After purchasing it back, my dad and I repaired the damage, painted it and got it running again. It ended up sitting for several years and I just got it back out again and running. I ride it back and forth to work (about 4 miles).
I tried to attach a picture, but wasn't able to load it.

WELCOME! I'm Dave's webmaster (he's the brains behind all this) I just do the HTML. If you'd like to send photos and memories/stories relating your experience you can send them to me at cdf959@windstream.net and I can post them or set up a Members Page for you. Go to our Members Page and you can see what I'm talking about. If you only want to share a story I can do that also. Shared memories are what keeps the history of these bikes we love alive. Since you're new I need to tell you we don't do any advertising, we don't share your info, and we don't charge. It's all for fun.
Again, WELCOME.
Regards,
Brent Dugan
