Guys, look very closely at the two pictures posted by me and ByTheLake above. Look at the angle of the kick starter in both pictures. The caption said it was taken an hour after new purchase, is this supposed to be the stock angle of the kick starter?
On another note, look at the forks in the tree without leaves just behind the bike and rider and what looks like a cedar tree...branches all the same. Must be the father of the rider, obviously taken at the same time, same position on the center stand. Maybe our SPOKES is a reincarnation or this young fella's older brother? |

Regarding the kick starter, interesting catch. Doesn't seem like there's much room for the lever to 'travel'. Some motorcycles (Triumph, for example) were crated "mostly assembled" at the factory, with final appendages mounted by the dealer. Not sure if Honda did it this way, but that would explain some variance in the placement of the kick starter. Since the photo caption indicated that the bike was an hour old, it's a good example of an unmolested front fender, which would be destined to be mashed into the ground during its first tire change. |

Not my pics. Nice collection though. I love those Bultaco, Husky pics and the other classic bikes. I'm jealous of the good time had back then.

But the little kid that's riding it helps give it that impression.
