Our small vintage motorcycle display at the recent International Motorcycle Show stop in Edmonton included the display of a 1968 Yamaha YG5 - 80.The little Yamaha Trail bike was one of the top draws of the display, more people stopped to look at and chat about the Yamaha than any other bike we showed.This is the text on the show card, the current custodian is the owner of a chain of motorcycle dealerships in western Canada.1968 YG5 TrailmasterThis bike came into my care due to the significance it had on my early motorcycle riding. This is my "Rollie Ratzloff" bike. I lived on a farm in the Horse Hills community and attended M.E. Lazerte for high school. Between rural Sturgeon County and NE Edmonton here was a large contingent of motorcycle riders on bikes from 50 Hondas to 750 Kawasakis that spent lunch time do wheelies up and down 144 ave. Kane's was the big Yamaha dealer in North Edmonton at the time so there was a significant number of little Yamahas in the school parking lot. Rollie Razloff was the proud owner of a YG5-T80 that looked exactly like this bike and despite the small displacement could stay with anyone riding down the creeks or climbing hills. I met Rollie while riding with a collection of future "world leaders" that would cut class to go riding in the gravel pits in what is now Hermitage Park. The afternoon ride would conclude with this group of 7 or 8 truants pulling into the car wash on the Fort Road and 63 street and attempting to wash all the bikes with one quarter. This was followed by a rush back to Lazerte in time to make an appearance, then go home.Rollie Ratzloff remained a good friend and riding partner as eventually we both bought CB750 Hondas and worked at Alberta Cycle during the early 70's.When the opportunity to own this gem, serial # G5-00006, presented itself I couldn't turn it down.
