Here in Iowa, it is December 18th and 50 degrees outside and I am quite pleased that I have not started the tinkering with the H1, yet.

I took it out for a spin, them two strokes love cool air, I got more miles on the back tire than the front, corners have a lot of crumbly crap in them, and there is the stuff they sprayed on the bridges...

It took 5-10 kicks to get it to light and same 'O triple, smoking, rattling and absolute fun to ride.

I was only speeding 80% of the time.

After all it is actually not winter yet.

Not Today.

Good to hear Joe..that H1A is sweet to look at.
Riding here is almost to an end. -6c today BUT it is getting a tad warmer this week so maybe one last ride before Christmas.

Glad you got a nice ride in before snow hits.

H1s do not like snow, esp with a modded engine and chambers.

And having a 'slick' on the back makes it even worse......don't ask me how I know of this fact.
