That's a lil disappointing, but c'est la vie, that's how the dice gets rolled sometimes.
My dad has 3 of them, with one of them hoping to be up and running this season. He used to drag race them back in the early 80s (he bought one new in '79). He's looking to get back into collecting them and riding again. I'm the scout and negotiator, he's the mechanic.
I think they're cool bikes and sound amazing. If you can dig up some pics, I'd love to see them. If not, then no big deal.
