Since I doubt they ever made 10,000 of those, my guess is.... congratulations!

What a nice find.   8)

Does the cover on the left side of the engine say Rockford or Bridgestone?

 ;D  Howdy...   I grew up in Freeport back in the 60s.... Joe Rosensteel sold honda and old man Kegeal sold the stones at his shop downtown in Freeport... I had a BS 175 in highshool class of 68....  Its neat to find them old bikes with a dealer sticker on them too....but you need more bikes... i have 12 right now!! ;D ;D
