dont see why you would not want to drive it... thats what they are made for..............
get er fixed up, put some good insurance on it and ride on..
I drove my 52 to work, to play, ever where....from Dallas to Kansas City, Okc, Ark, thru out Tx...........never missed a lick and enjoyed all of it..
no power,no air, no heat, drum brakes, I could drive it as fast or as slow as I wanted..........if you have one...........and you dont drive it.............then the whole deal is a waste..
Right Cletis?
