A Blog about Motorcycles. Also at www.OldMotoDude.Com, on the OldMotoDude YouTube channel, and Pinterest. The motorcycles are mostly vintage, but really anything that catches my eye. 99.99% of the content on this blog is original material. Comments are always welcome.

I love that bike. it would be great to have one parked in the house.
ReplyDeleteimagine it painted orange metal flake and sitting on top of a 1970 milk crate.
I also imagine the motor and hubs polished raw aluminum and mini Petty fenders with no lights. of course keeping the stock parts safe stored away. except the metal flake paint would have to be excused but not considered a sin hopefully. a guy would need to be careful to preserve these bikes as stock as much as possible by keeping stock parts and bolting on extra parts such as metal flake tank and stuff. I didn't mean to type a whole book about it, lol.
My dad bought me one of these when I was 15 and I still have it! I can't ride the trails like I used to but I still ride it where I can. It still starts great, if not with the first kick then certainly by the second, even after being put up for the winter. The only time I had any problem with it was when my Dad gave me the wrong sparkplug and it burnt a hole in the cylinder. Of course I was miles from home.
ReplyDeleteDad had a 1970 Kawasaki 100 and it fell apart in a little more than 5 years.
Thanks Dad! (Dennis)
