| The pictures were taken in 1956 when I was home on leave from the Navy, I bought the 165 new from the largest dealer in Columbus, Ohio (A.D. Farrow) in late 52 so I think it was a 53. I traded in my 1948 Cushman step-thru scooter on it. I used it to go to High School and deliver newspapers. |

I also rode it to work at a gas station owned by my girl friends dad, after we closed each night I would beat him home and was setting on his porch with his daughter when he got there (that didn't make him very happy). I loved riding it and rode it to my sisters 100 miles away one time, 70 miles an hour all the way (it overheated and stoped 3 times). I put a lot of miles on it, never did have any mechanical trouble with it except the overheating that one time.
I just found the Hummer Club a couple of weeks ago, I now have Mutt helping me with some of the parts.
