I spotted this little H-D 2 stroke and the scrambler at Grand Canyon Caverns on a relay stop...

Nice to see such old machines still in use, the little ones usually get beaten to death then dumped. :D

OK never heard of this maker, went broke in the 60's, does that seem possible as that was the best time to be selling bikes.

Oh dang that's purty Schmthaus. :)

I have one for you, I have a brother-in law who does restores on Nortons and any I see for sale I flick him a photo, this one came up this week and he replied asking what the large cut away was for in the seat.
He surmised that you need big balls to ride a Norton (his words) and therefore it may be an area to stow them while riding! ;D

Stow them nothing! That's so you can let them hang out & breathe!!

(Just be careful not to let them get sucked into the carbs! ;D)

This is my good friend Kileys CB360. Well, it was a cb360. The list of mods is... extensive to say the least. Certainly wonderful, and ya a little weird.

Motor has a NOS, and machined head, custom external oil cooler with electric pump, Arctic Cat VM30s, and plenty of other things done since these pics. This is the loudest Honda twin I have ever heard, and runs like a rabbit with its ass on fire.





Hes working on a new seat and some other mods to the bike now as well.

You guys know him here as Kanticoy, the builder/owner of some one of the nicest CB400f racers around.

When I was a teenager and not too interested in "old" bikes I was at the local rubbish dump one day when a guy with a trailer load of Honda Dream 305 and 205's dumped the lot, about 5 bikes in all and spare motors and wheels.
Now I didn't know much about these strange old machines, only that as bikes I should try to save them...all!
As I backed up my trailer, the local council bulldozer driver ran a TD25 right over the top of all of them!!!! :'(
Ah well, guess we can't save them all.

This has to fall under the wonderful category, my mate had one of these and apart from the slab of concrete seat it when like a possum with it's ass on fire, in a straight line nothing could touch the H1 and this baby has been sitting 20 years waiting to be awoken.
I do hope the buyer is an experienced rider as these 500's had the notorious reputation of putting more riders in hosptial (sometimes the cemetry) than anything else of the early 70's.
