First run of the Year on my H2 Street/Drag bike
Wheeled the old girl out, drained the stale fuel, put some fresh in, blew the flat front tyre up, chucked it in the van, drove to Shakey . . . . . . and ran a 10.7 :)

H2 750 CR - Case Reed H2 a quick ride . . . .

A brief ride on Henrys '74 H2, fitted with case reeds, bottom end work by Henry, top end work by the late Chris Ritchie. The bike is only around 110BHP but it comes on S T R O N G! - The Speedometer is in KPH. The second clip features myself bricking it as I approach a cop car at 100 MPH in a neighbourhood somewhere near Chicago.

I just came across this clip and couldn't resist uploading it for posterity - 2009 and a meeting at Shakey racewway, the camera is aboard my H2 as leave my bike for a minute in the lane, Chris sets it filming . . . . A wonderful engineer and a guy with a GREAT sense of humour . . Rest In Peace Chris!

I am still shaking my head in disbelief that anyone could possibly build this and then market it! it takes 5 minutes for Two normal size people to squeeze in, and then there is no leg room! Myself and "Minnesota Mark" were the first duo to "ride" the Gherkin in 30 years . . .

      I bought a used H2 750 in 1983, refurbished it and owned and rode for 4 months. It tried to kill me once a bit over 100 mph, when I closed the throttle and it started a savage pendulum worse than one of those things you use for music. I was frozen..., but what convinced me I had to sell was a 200 km trip on the Alps, in the Gran Paradiso National Park: It destroyed me with vibrations and dried my wallet in fuel. I switched to a much quieter BMW 75/5. Now, 30 years after selling my last BMW 90/6, approaching my 75th b'day, I rode again a bike and I'm waiting for my brand new Guzzi V7 850. Safe rides to all and everyone.

    Hola sr Rick. En el año 1980 yo estaba en la secundaria y antes de llegar a mi casa habia una Z1R turbo estacionada en la acera identica a la suya. Ahi empezo mi pasión por las Motos. Solo vi 2 Z1R Turbo del mismo color y Graficos en Argentina. La que te comenté y la otra (que nose si es la misma) en el Museo de termas de Rio Hondo(autodromo ) Gracias por compartir esta hermosa Motocicleta. Ya me suscribí a su canal.

    Sweet sound of my youth. I rode Kawasaki Triples and it was really amazing what a good sticky set of tires would do for the handling. They were “flexible flyers” however so were many other Bikes back then. I was fortunate to start riding at age 4 and came to understand that on a lot of these Bikes the trick was to blast down the straights and ease through the corners. It’s a shame people allowed Scumbag politicians to deprive us of 2 stroke street Bikes, just when they were really getting good.
