Riding a Cyclone

[pete @ occhiolungo]

Hi Pete. Those photos are from summer 2011, on the Minden Tour. Lane still rides the bike on occasion, and it needed a bit of roadside maintenance. But that makes it even more fun.

regards,
Pete

When Lane had the bike on the Evergreen run and it broke down, it ended up on my pickup for the day. It was almost tempting to head for the Canadian border and home! There was a serious climb in the mountains to see the damage caused by Mt St. Hellens. The Cyclone blasted up with no problem, even with single speed. Quite a bike! Is Lane still around? I haven't heard from him in years.

PS
Both the Cyclone and OHC Ex used four valves only.

Thanks Pete!
That was a pretty magical moment for me, holding (fondling!) a Cyclone motor!
Sure is a spindly thing, huh?
