Pretty oddball alright, but I'd rather see a motorcycle that looks like that, and gets ridden regularly, than a show quality restoration that doesn't.Here's one that a guy on the triples board found in the engine of a bike he bought:
Is that really stitched together with copper wire and then JB Welded? I wonder how long it ran (if at all).
Yes, you got it. It was done to sell an H2 without having to actually buy a piston. It ran OK for a short time for the test ride, but it took only a few miles after it was in the buyer's possession to start making an unusual noise. He removed the cylinder and that's what was inside.
instead of chumped he was McGiver'd?
I enjoy seeing postings like this. Makes me seem to have the Midas Touch, when my mechanical skills are rather mediocre.
Ditto, tho I only aspire to someday reach mediocrity in wrenching. ::)Yesterday, in particular, was a sobering and dispiriting reminder of my place among mechanical men: near last. :'(In fact, one of the reasons I appreciate my brother so much is that, because he is absolutely clueless around tools and engines, he makes me feel -- erroneously, of course -- as if I am an accomplished hand at maintenance and repair. ;D Bill
That was me . The car was a trade in on a new car where a friend of mines Dad worked for years . This was a large V8 from the 1950s , not sure how long it ran :D Dusty
