Thanks Sam that's a cool thread! Like some of the other folks said, I also had experience with an H1 in '72 and '73 mostly at Epping NH and had good success against Honda 750's. All were street bikes except ours and the best I did was mid to high 11s. I remember I worked for Castro Convertible at the time, and the upholstery repair guy there, Nunzio did our seat in white naugahyde. I think you would have loved it.
