[QUOTE="lindie, post: 8684, member: 1466"] gotta love those guards! as a company they weren't afrad to turn convention on it's head and those race successes at was it the 1911 tt show they weren't always plodders. what was the ride like with that gigantic drivetrain and the plungers at the back? my old manager tells me as a boy they used to ride a chief around the farm like a trailbike and it ne'er complained but the rust got to it and they bulldozed it. back then he assures me they were worth nothing and many a bike of interest today suffered the same fate. i need to chase up a mate who assures me he built a spastic buggy/gokart creation and it used a rapide engine. urban legends abound sadly, so it may have been a honda parralell twin for all ne'd know, but the lead you don't chase......
