Chasing Gremlins in a 50 Year Old Motorcycle
Переглядів 164День тому
No matter what i do, these little gremlins are always causing me trouble! This bike has been a series of small problems throughout the years I've owned it. What should I expect though, it's 50 years old!? These old Hondas are just fantastic bikes though and if you're considering getting into vintage motorcycles, there really is no better platform. They're cheap, easy to work on, and extremely r...

    I still have a few of these from '72 - '76. I looked at them just the other day. Back then I had 3 or 4 subscriptions for years. Some of my older ones I still have, still have that subscription card in the middle you send in for a 1 year and 12 issues, $3.95. About 10 years ago I threw away several stacks of motorcycle dirt bike magazines. I kept some that I liked. My favorite is the one on Kenny Roberts TZ750 Miler bike test. Shoe horn a Yamaha 750 GP road race 4 cylinder 2 stroke engine, into a flat track bike frame. His favorite saying, ''They dont pay me enough to ride that thing.'' It had so much power it was hard to control, thats saying something coming from him. One race he went to the back of the pack not being able to control it, only to go back up through the pack and win the race. He said it was his finest achievement, beating the Harley Davidson factory backed flat track riders who dominated back then.Then several other guys had one. Eventually it was banned. I loved riding during these years.

Put on ABM straight bar, very comfortable. 520 conversion chain 2 up rear sprocket more torque . This bike is a joy to cruise. I go out for a couple hours and can cruise very fast easily.

The next Saturday we were back and to my surprise Dad had arranged a trade for me. When we got to the track he said bring your bike down here I want to show you something in the pits. 2 brothers named Tom and Dave had a Chariot trailer they sold accessories out of, T & D Motocross Accessories. I think they had a shop somewhere. Dad said check out that 1981 CR 80. Take it for a ride in the pits. When I came back he said leave your 75 here. That's your new to me but used race bike. And my life was changed forever. Ahhhhh the memories. Thanks for sharing brother. Oh yeah I was 11 at the time. But when I got off that CR 80 I said to myself.
