I've had MANY cool motorcycles, and this one is probably in my top 3 or 4. Maybe as high as # 1. I turned this one into a flat tracker, with a 19" front wheel, and it was an absolute rocket. I won many races with this jewel. I wish I could remember what I did with this bike: I would LOVE to have it today. This was purchased from Johnnie Ross Motorcycles in Redding CA. in 1973. I bought one of the first ones that they sold. Good memories....
