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.

DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see the built-in silencer on the tuned chamber.
I started building tuned chambers in my first year of high school metal shop in 67, looked a lot like this one. Lol
I actually copied the shape from a friend of mines step dad Frank Wheelie Wheeler's super cool, custom Hodaka, and prototype Taurus bike, that he was trying to get into manufacturing. I built a pipe for a friends Kawasaki 175, looked a lot like this pipe, and somehow really did work great, which wasn't always the case...
Didn't start using silencers, until I started building chambers for street bikes though, A3 Avengers, Mach 111's, etc. and they were still loud...
This great nostalgia, than you for posting this, and all the other great bikes you post! Your greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the great trip down memory lane. Great to hear your story and I'm glad you enjoy the blog.
