That was a neat bike. I remember it well. Back then, two stroke dirt bikes were the order of the day . . .
I can remeber being at a local hillclimb, watching riders go at it with all manner of bikes. Nobody could get past 2/3 the way up. Along comes this guy on that very bike. We all laughed as he lined up at the bottom of the hill. We stopped laughing when he blasted by the 2/3 point and continued up and over the top of the hill. Nobody else even came close.

Great story, thanks!
I had a over sized fiber compound gas tank, a less restrictive exhaust and a few less teeth on the drive sprocket. I loved it. The only two bikes I remember ever giving me a hard time in the hilly backwoods west of the base was the Elsinore (125 2 stroke screamer) and (I think it was) the 400 Yamaha 4 stroke.
Nowadays we both need our Electraglides just to maintain or dignity and have a place to store our reading glasses! :-)
