H1b - come home

Post by johnnymoped »

Here's my latest H1 - an original 1972 H1b.
Been kept inside, unused for 15 years - nice but not perfect. Hooked it up to it's new battery - everything works - even 3 nice blue sparks.

That's pretty John.

Just watch the ground clearance with the stand/footrests one your first corner! It caught me out on my h1b a few times.

Hi JP - the bike originally came from the States in 1992 - exported to Belgium 2002 and re-imported by me this year. So 5515 miles from new.
