Nice, Fred! Good to see you're still getting after it! Nice ride, Theo.

I guess I can't be part of the club with my rice-smoking 2-stroke. I'll show myself out. :D

Yep, that's the '74 (purple) and '75 (orange). I've done a TON of mods to both the engine and carburetors (and exhaust). This is all of double the HP of a stock bike.

Mine is actually a '74, but I wasn't crazy about the purple. The orange I painted it in is a custom shade we came up with at the paint shop mixing in Corvette yellow with some white and red.

The 305 was a nice bike also, my friend had one. I had a 250 Big Bear Scrambler also.
