Friday afternoon safety meeting.

..............................

Yes, British Fords as far back as I recall were Neg-VE, although there were probably some older ones that weren't. Positive earth still appeared in BMC cars for years into the 60s, but they all eventually became Neg.
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.
Save me from the Rivet Counters!

It was in last Friday's meeting..

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

It's a 1972...........

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.
