Anybody Know Of This Bike?


Recommended Posts

10 years or so ago I discoverd this here on the webernets but forgot about it. I was trying to tell someone about it yesterday but now I can't find anything on it.

I've had this one pic forever.

 

If I remember correctly, it was the worlds (or) the us's first mc automatic transmission. and the guy that built it rode it everywhere, and died young, but can't remember that story either. anybody know anything about it?

I think a guy name Charger has it now. I don't know if it's running or not. I know he said he would be at Branson this coming year. If you can make it. I will make sure you meet him. He is a great guy to talk to. I do need to call him and see how he's doing.
