Thanks guys for the compliments on my old H2. I was only 19 years old when I built that bike. It had a lot of rough edges when I first put it together. It took a few years to learn how to do things a better way. I picked up a lot just watching my welder who fabricated ProStock cars back in the 70's. He made the comment one time that he would have to start charging me for all the time I spend there watching and learning how to fab things up the right way!!!

I had the first bike in Chicagoland with Morris mags back in 1973. I went with the D.I.D. rear rim because the Morris rear rim was only 2.50 inches wide. I even had a Lester mag on the back for awhile too!!! I was always changing something on that bike back then. That was the 4th different fiberglass tank I had on the bike. I had Reed Titan, Monotrack, and finally the Cycle Systems tank you see in the pictures before I was happy.

any pics of the other bikes in your signature? like the KH400?

Here is my KH400 that I started road racing on. It was like 40 RD350/400's and 1 Kawasaki, ME in the 400 Production Class back then. Depending on the size of the track, I would run as many as four or five sprint races on the weekend with my little 400.



Sorry about the quality of picture. I took a photo of one of my old prints from back in 1977.

amazing photo. love the dutch angle.
