Walneck's Classic Cycle Trader - November 2008 - (Page 34)

SPECIAL FEATURE STORIES hearing a “POP” in my right hand while flying BACK OUT of a ditch and later that night my wrist grew to 3 times normal size!!. 40 years, 4 surguries, 2 prosthetic implants and a lot of pain later, I can still usually twist the throttle on anything with an engine!! But the Super Hawk never ran quite right. Fouled plugs, no starts and black puffs of smoke were a daily thing with it. If I’d just known about FLOAT LEVEL back then darn it anyways!! Man I wish I’d kept that one!! OUR WINNER’S STORIES! TOM SUTHERLAND from sheds, basements, garages, barns or fields. Making them come alive again then introducing someone else to the Madness is what’s in my blood I’m now thinking that just maybe there is no such thing as a perfect Motorcycle, but rather a lot of “almost perfect” ones. During this search for “that bike” I sometimes have no bike but sometimes 5 or 6. My current love is a very ugly ‘72 Honda 500 Four, rigid framed and distastefully done in flat black paint, but a recent affair, a Honda 350 Four found resting in a garage after the carbs were torn apart some 30 years ago, is awaiting pickup!!! It seems that sleeping beauty will quite possibly be my son Mike’s first ride From time to time I dream of rekindling an old flame, and memories of her haunt me to this very day. Do you remember my stare that sunny morning? When our eyes first met? My first love are you out there somewhere? Hiding all alone for years untouched and neglected, taken for granted somewhere in the cold? Until we meet again, little Hurricane?? I can be reached at tsutherland@att.net The Madness Continued. CT1Cs, 350 Hondas bought in pairs at a time, a 69 yes a 69 CB750 chopper acquired by trading a VW beetle, Suzuki GSs, dirt bikes, XS650s by the dozen, and anything else I could buy, trade, fix, tear apart, put together or swap and ride for a cheep price was mine. If I had a nickel for every spark plug I’ve bought for a RD350 I could probably go buy a new Triumph right now!! hmmmmm.. Somewhere in those crazy years, I was even a contributor for Clymer Publications and had a shop out back selling parts and fixing bikes for real. Today I prefer lonely motorcycles, orphaned by time and busy lives, pulled 34 November 2008 | WALNECK’S CLASSIC CYCLE TRADER® I WALNECKS.COM http://www.WALNECKS.COM
