Memories about growing up in:

A previous post about Maruko's made me think about the other long gone shops in the area. Here's some I can think of:

Green's Cyclery
Sumner's Suzuki
Fresno Kawasaki (worked there)
Fresno Yamaha
Sanger Honda
Clovis Honda
Maruko's Honda
I know there were more.

I bought a new 1972 550 Suzuki GL 2 stroke triple cylinder from Bohner Suzuki on Blackstone. Took the bike to Texas the following year and a co-worker made me an offer I could not refuse.

That's right, forgot that Bohner's Boats was a Suzuki dealer also!! Also Kerman Honda...

Seems to me there was a Clausen Honda on Blackstone, around Shields. In about 1964, I went with a friend, Ronnie and his parents to buy him a Honda 50cc. It was a black, C110 model and it cost $275 brand new. Since we did not have a drivers license, we mostly rode it around in his back yard to avoid tickets. We had a lot of fun tearing up his parents yard. Unfortunately, Ronnie passed away this year in Clovis at the age of 60. He was a great guy and I appreciated his friendship.

Clawson Honda was on Blackstone just south of Shaw Ave, west side of Blackstone. Fun Cars is where it was. We lived next to a guy that worked as a mechanic on the bikes and boats, way before they got cars.
