Thanks for posting Dad's old bike! I hyperlinked him to your site and he was blown away! He loved the sight, and waxed nostalgic, and offered a few more details...the front mag rim was off a top fuel dragster purchased at the show- a one off prototype. The paint was super fresh because he went down only a few days before the show (oversize back tire caught in undersized fender, duh?) The original paint was elaborite orange pinstripes on green metal-flake (pictured in the first black and white photo)He sold the bike, bought a new sportster (around 2K those days!) which was promptly stolen (he found out years later) by the guy he sold the first one to! This guy was soon after killed by angles at a party that went bad....so the story goes ....Great biker drama eh?
Sterling thanks once again
and please thanks your Dad.
