hahaha! You can't call it a "fail" if there's some chance of "success" or "win".

Man that could have ended worse...

Looks to be an old Honda SOHC four, probably had to resort to it as his Hog wouldn`t have enough power to break the back wheel loose, lol

Anyhow, Mr Harley-wear came close to winning a Darwin award..... what a loser!

That's what I thought... on both counts.

A number of those SOHC CB750's ended up being chopped or having lowering struts replace the shocks and drag bars added. The latter were common in South Central LA in the '70s '80s. And with extended front ends, a tear drop tank, and lots of chrome in old chopper style, there were a few very nice ones running around SoCal as far back as the mid '70s. They were a hell of a lot faster than their Harley counterparts.

Darwin award for this guy for sure.

mikstr, I understand your facetious comment. LOL

A lot of the lowered drag bikes that the guys in South Central rode back then had very well worked over motors. It was cool, because here were these Black guys, riding in a pack and wearing colors, but they were all stretched out over the tank, holding onto flat drag bars, on tricked out, haul *** Japanese I4's, mostly CB750's.

And there was one I4 chopper with a long springer front end that I was stopped next to at a red light back in the mid '70s, that must have had almost no flywheel. I think it had a Kawi Z1 motor. He revved that thing, and it rapped idle-redline-idle in like 1 second or less. Think Top Fuel Dragster at the start line. When he took off I was quite sure that the springer wasn't going to last long.
