LOL yeah i was thinking ATGATT when I found that pic.. I was looking for a pic of a 1000cc street bike turned into a hillclimber, but that one was funny enough.

For sale , always babied, never been down. LOL

 

I'm holding out for the GL1800 dual sport.

 

Back in my racing days when most bikes still had 2 shocks a dude here in Indiana rode a sportster in local motocross and hare scrambles and he was able to out run alot of people on it. This would have been the late 70's.

 

Yeah, but weren't all the other competitors riding Cushman's?

 

No cushman's that I remember but back then a lot of stripped down street bikes were raced. The first bike I ever raced was a Harley. It was an old Baja 100, it was fast for the day but prone to blow up as I think I rebuilt it at least 3 times. Then in 83 I bought a new cr 125 and life was never the same.

 

No price on the conversion kit on the Carducci site... if you gotta ask, then you can't afford it.
