Drove off the showroom in1973. Fastest production bike at the time. Still ride it near the house. Too many texting drivers for long rides. Two Stroke (smell) Phish

I had a 500 triple in 74, I don't remember a disc brake on them?
That thing was a death trap but it was fun and I survived.

They were nicknamed the Widowmaker. 75 HP and 350 lbs wet. In my young and dumb days would wheelie for what seemed miles. I ran low 12's with it at Golden Triangle Raceway in Beaumont, Tx. 3500 to 7500 rpm it was wicked. Never put it on the ground, your right; fun and I survived. Phish

Well, not a hot rod, but here is my other fun vehicle, which is incredibly dear to me.

1974 IHC Scout II. Purchased impromptu while taking a walk on a visit back to my parents in my home town in NJ with my finance (now my wife) with $500 cash, and then driven back home to Pittsburgh. It was a rusted mess, with almost no floor boards and less than half the exhaust system. Had the hard top on it at that time. By the time I got to Pittsburgh I had a CO headache like you cant imagine. Did a partial restore on it, and it then it took me to my wedding with my best man, and then unexpectedly (happened to take it to work that day when I got the call) to the birth of my second son.

Decided that given all that sentimental value it deserved a complete resto. I will never sell it.

That Scout is super RAD! What a fun vehicle and a cool pic too.

I had a '72 and my neighbor had a '74. He redid his a couple times and I would get his cast-off parts. I had Denco street chambers, the sound was unreal. With all the vibration, chicks dug it.
