Well, with 2 bikes basically done and running, they only need regular maintenance and small upgrades now and again. Our main project, the "h1/750" has hit a little snag with an engine still heading the shopping list. Brother Seaglider is workin' on acquiring that item... meanwhile I'm a little bored. You know... it feels weird not having 2-3 projects percolating at the same time. Maybe it's time to pull the trigger... ... on a... ... Pocket Rocket!! What do ya think??

So, here we go. One of our forum members wanted to broker a deal for his son who needed to sell his '75 G3SSE. We very easily worked out a deal and, at Paris I will be the extremely proud owner of a nice little Kawasaki 2 stroke single. Thank you raat2... I couldn't be happier! This is a beauty, and pretty well stock. Stock really isn't my style, but...

So put a chamber and clubmans on it and you can revert to stock any time.

My thoughts Jim! I've cut up/hacked up every other bike I have. I should at least try to preserve one... shouldn't I?? John is the "little devil on my shoulder" whispering in my ear. Who will I listen to? Hmmm... Time will tell I suppose.

Yeah, it's a sweet bike just like it is! Ride it like that this summer then tear it down and port the crap out of it at the end of the season... By then there should be a bit of development done for you.

Heck, I would cafe out a 72 H2 right out of the crate! It's a motorcycle, not an investment!

Yes John, you make a good point. They're toys to be played with not paintings to be admired.
