Is it just me and my ageing, barely functional eyesight or is this one compressed little bobby chobber, the rear bag is just about biting through the gearbox by the look of it . . . . no matter, one terrifically cool lookin scoot from the home of raw seafood, fast trains and the highly unstable Western Pacific Subduction Zone . . . . also the epicentre of the "I bet my forty five degree V-twin can idle lower than yours", if you listen closely you can hear the bottom end screaming 'please adjust the fucking idle up just a bit' . . . . cool bombs away, tora, tora, tora !!!

"KICKSTART HARLEY DAVIDSON PANHEAD" ['NITOZINHO' POOTUBE] . . . . I LOVE THIS SORT OF BEAST . . . . SHORT PIPES, PANTS REMOVING OPEN PRIMARY, NARROW BARS, BARE BONES MINIMUM . . . . AND A SUPER COMPACT SHORT WHEELBASE LIKE IVAN MAUGHER'S SPEEDWAY RIG . . . . ANOTHER ONE OF THE MYRIAD GEMS IN THE LAND OF THE PERIOD PERFECT . . . . THE LOW IDLE ALWAYS FREAKS ME OUT THOUGH . . . .

ReplyDeleteMy old shop foreman liked to see how slow he could make his Triumph idle....drove us nuts! His bike was one of the nicest pre-units around. I'll probably incorporate a lot of his ideas in the '57 I'm going to build. Was not chopped or bobbed, just a really nice rideable custom...or is that 'Kustom'?
