Very cool, Art. You're a part of racing history. I wasn't even a cliff note, although I attended a Kenny Roberts road racing school at Willow Springs many years ago.
Good story Art. Last year or the year before 2 other guys and I put his TZ750 mile bike in a small elevator to go upstairs on display at The Quail Motorcycle dinner. We had to stand it on end to fit. I suggested we just ride it up the stairs but no one wanted us to start it indoors.

CB750 Honda (K0) with a 810cc kit from Russ Collins, Mega Cycle cam. The H1R was much quicker, but the Honda didn't wiggle as much. Art
Don't have any in digital format of the Honda. I think I've got some in film. Let me look around. Art
Here's my imitation of KR (about 30 years ago): https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t1.0-9/10444733_337955569685471_6258256645822939523_n.jpg
You can take a picture of a picture, that is what I did of my old racing photos or take them to kinkos and see if they can scan them for you. Image Unavailable, Please Login
