    74 honda 70's period street racer

    picked this up friday, a little 400 round trip drive, the last fifty miles through tornadoes, hail, straight line winds and epic rain.
    bought it from the original owners son (still on 74 title) after mom and dad got divorced and pop split. spent the past couple of days spiffin' it up and determining what its fate will be. lots of cool period correct russ collins (r.c. engineering) go fast bits on/in it.
    next try to fire this bad boy up. and yes, the owner was a bob seager fan....





    had to take the old display sign too.

        Is that a bell attached to the bottom of the frame?

            I'd leave it on too. Bad karma to remove it IMHO.

                    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
