[QUOTE="Husky Texan, post: 21549, member: 20101"] This one's easy. The absolute worst bike I ever had was an Indian SE74 minicycle. Looked great, was Carabela slow. Imagine how I felt when I entered the first Florida Mini-Olympics in 1972 and was told "sorry the Indian is not eligible for the stock classes because it comes standard with a Hooker expansion chamber" So what, it was still slow. Oh yeah, did I mention it handled like crap too. I was really excited as Jeff Ward passed me (repeatedly) on a prototype XR75 and I damn near killed everyone on the side of the track while this thing was in a CZ death hop. The final indignity is that of course the engine was Italian. That means not having parts availability. Of course I was really happy when it died and Dad brought home the magic XR75. And now the damn bikes are selling for nearly a grand on EBay! Wish I had mine back. ------------------ Dave 1995 KDX200 81 Husky 430CR & 84 500WR "Always looking for another Swedish wench!" [/QUOTE]
