^^^That's what Boo runs around on when he's not crusing in Elvis.

Wonder how fast he had it going?

A timeless beauty. Ole Raquel Welch used to get my teenage hormones racing a bit, too.

you had someone watchin' over ya bro,

even though the commando when punched could throw you off if not man enough in the wrists ..

It was a truck-a-teria lunch mobile. He made a right on red, I had right away. I remember him walking up to me saying "you can make a right on a red". Well, not into oncoming traffic. Completely tore up one of the pipes, handlebar, clutch and gear shift. ( Why English bikes have reversed brake and gearshift sides is beyond me)

This is why I like Harleys. They hear and feel the bikes beat. I always watched drivers who were in traffic to see if they noticed. Does their head move checking your location? This idiot I swear was looking straight at me when he turned. Good thing I was stunned, at 19 I was full on nutz.

That bike could take off like a Jet. It would leave a good 2 foot rubber mark. It was the fastest production bike at the time, before the Kawasaki 900 4 cylinder bike. Those were faster than the later 1000 bikes, maybe not crotch rocket speed, but crazy fast. Go through the gears quickly at full throttle you would clear 120 just after hitting 4th.

I DO NOT need not want to go those speeds on 2 wheels. I survived and don't need to push my luck.

My sisters boyfriend had a Honda 750 when they 1st came out they were fast after he re-jetted it even faster. We had a road that was a mile long straight away in town and we all raced cars there.
Well one day he said come kid jump on we are going for a ride. The 1st run down old paved road at 130 plus Pinned speedo was like wholly crapola , Then the rocket scientist lays down and says lay over me
Which I did (less wind resistance , and he was flying back the other way, Fooking fast it was at this time I noticed he had taken his hands off the bars and was still pinned speedo, I was shiiting bricks
one pot hole and we were gone. Turns out years later he ended up in a crazy bin , the due was really crazy. Needless to say never rode with him again I was 16 yrs old.

Oh and I forgot he chopped it , I tried to ride it fell off a few times
The 750 was a big ass bike for a 16 yr old , it was brand new and he was letting me play on it
Good thing is I was a Big dude at 16 or I would have dropped it

The front bars were illegal length and I did learn to ride it in the street was not easy LOL

 

[RosterMan]

The forks were even longer than this a custom job his friends did

longer forks means you had to ride a lot more cautious while maneuvering lefts or rights .. but they looked cool

I remember how hard it was to turn in a tight circle It sucked LOL
I always like stock forks myself
