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
Which one is the original? |

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. Kp |
