yeah - it has the original chrome tank too....
Bugs me that all I can do is drop by and look at it.
Oh well. I get back in the saddle and I won't have to mess with old Enduro's that blow headlights out

Greywolf - Hodaka........ I have not heard that name in probably 30+ years (was that a combat wombat?). A quick flash to my youth, riding a Yamaha enduro I paid for using my paper route money, my buddy had a Kawsaki "green machine" and the spoiled kid had an Elsinore. Thanks for the memory.

Hodaka...I bought an Ace 100 for 50 bucks when I was 14. (In retrospect, I may have paid too much. It was in a box and was very, very well worn.)
I just picked up a '75 Yamaha XS650b, free for the hauling off. It's almost complete and not in too bad a shape. Also had to haul off an old Bultaco and a DT125, both in pieces and incomplete. Guess I'll add them to the scrap pile, but I think I'll fix up the XS650. Maybe I can actually afford to ride it.
Interesting bike there, Charlie. If you ride it out here, you got a place to stay!

Had 2 Ducatis when I was a kid. Cool bikes. Bridgestone? By the makers of the tire? And you lost me on the Maroon colored bike. But there seems to be some sort of memory lurking there...
Anybody seen an Amazonas? VW powered, made in Brazil as I recall. And I had a buddy who had an Ariel square 4.
