    Another favourite bugging point of mine is the bone-headed 'originality' quest to take off perfectly fine alternator upgrades and replace them with wheezy old dynamos, just like they had when they left the factory.

      I don't think the steering dampener is stock, but no deductions for that. Do you know what year it is?

          Oh, man! First year! And what a year. New, enlarged Sportster, and months away from an insignificant little bike like the 903cc DOHC Kaw Z1.

              The guy who rides this...is he bigger and stronger than most guys? Have a deeper voice, more hair on his chest? Braver than most? More, shall we say...masculine?

              I thought so.

                      Wondering about that H2. I know nothing about Canada, but in the U.S. pretty sure all the 1972, first yr., H2's were blue. also thinking, though it's been over 50 yrs. ago, thinking they came with the steering dampener.... Gosh I'd love to have an old H2, Yrs. ago I loved riding those things. I can imagine it may not be as much fun these days.

                                Another great Friday afternoon safety meeting yesterday.
                                Did a big clean of my garage as I was busy this week catching up on classic bike maintenance....oil changes etc.
                                Loving the new floor.


                                My buddy Rick's awesome Aprilia



                                A new guy showed up, John brought his very cool 74 Honda CB450 Double overhead Cam



                                And my buddy Geoff showed up in his wife's daily driver Ferrari California.....beautiful car.



                                My buddy picked this up recently for $2700 because the shaft was failing....he took it to our local BMW dealer and they discovered they could fix the shaft because of a recall....lol



                                Your truly tending bar



                                The boys....and my wife and her mother and a Andy's wife...lol
