Hi all
I though i would share a little slice of history of a bike that was called the widow maker. i have been working on this bike for about 2 years now. just brought a video cam at some time i will put up a vid of it running sounds nice.!!

Thanks for your time.
Chris

Thats bike porn!always really liked the H1 and 2,but they were a bit before my time,tried to convince a friend of my dads with a restored H1 to allow me a ride a couple of years ago but not a hope in hell! I'd like to see that as 'ride of the month'

I had a '69 H-1 that I put 34K on before selling. I had a truckload of fun on that beast especially when it came to blowing the doors off Hemi Roadrunners, Corvettes and any other bike of the era Yours may be the nicest I've ever seen!
