There is a lot going on these days with the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club. Fol-lowing are some of the things on our col-

lective VJMC plate:The VJMC National Board of Directors ap-

proved the purchase of a national general liability insurance policy for the organization. On the lo-cal level this means it will soon be possible to purchase a general liability rider onto our new VJMC policy when you are organizing and put-ting on a “sanctioned” VJMC event.

We are now beginning to develop some gen-eral standards and requirements for an event to be officially “sanctioned” as a VJMC event. The new general liability policy carrier is helping us with this. It will take some time, but we’re working on it. We’ll announce the process for sanctioning in our magazine and on our website.

Look for greatly expanded VJMC merchandise offerings soon. We will have a link posted in the regalia section of the website, vjmc.org, when the items become available. These will include T-shirts, golf/polo shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, cof-fee mugs, blankets and much more. Also, you will soon have the ability to submit your own design for VJMC regalia. We may be introducing some design contests soon! Again, look for the informa-tion on our website and in the magazine.

Per approval from the meeting of the national board members in March, we will be undertak-ing a revision of our by-laws to address some

complexities that have come to light as the organization grows.

Please use and recommend our VJMC advertisers! Within the last month, I have been in contact with several VJMC advertisers; one on a ship-ping quote, one on paint, and another for some specialized parts. When I need something a little outside-the-box, I just take out a couple issues of the magazine and start hunting for advertisers. If you happen to place an order or request a quote from a VJMC advertiser, please be sure to let them know that you got their name from the VJMC. It is these advertisers that enable the VJMC to produce our fine magazine and web site.

Introduce yourself to the VJMC members of the national board who will be attending events over the summer including the Rhinebeck Grand National Super Meet June 11-13, Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio July 9-11, MetricFest August 6-8, and the AMCA Fall National in Davenport on September 2-4.

If you’re having a local VJMC get-together over the summer, you might want to contact your VJMC Field Representative, or members of the National Board regarding coming to speak at your meeting about all things VJMC. You never know who may be in your area and available. All it

“Someone’s � nally paying real attention to motorcycling’s glory years, a time when the sport changed in so many dramatic ways. Moto Retro Illustrated is a great read, a magazine that takes me back to those exciting years with in-depth research, writing and great photography. If you love moto-culture from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, you’re gonna dig it.”

—Kenny Roberts

King Kenny built a career telling it like it is, so we’re obviously jacked to hear his thoughts. He’s right, of course. Moto Retro Illustrated is the only full-coverage—dirt, street and mini—retro magazine around, and because it’s

written by folks with decades of journalism, riding and racing experience from the very eras and categories we cover, you know the stories are gonna be good. We’re more expensive than your average magazine, but we’re worth it. Moto Retro is large-format, glossy and printed on thick, luxurious paper. We dig deep and go behind the scenes on the bikes, technol-ogy, collections, races, events, racers and collectors you remember from the glory days of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, and we limit advertising so you get a magazine packed to the sidepanels with great stories, killer photography and hair-raising tales from Back In The Day!

So subscribe to Moto Retro Illustrated today and you’ll soon know retro as well as Kenny Roberts!Moto Retro Illustrated is quarterly (4 issues per year) and available only through our website or by mailing a check or money order to Moto Retro Subscriptions, P.O. Box 202, Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274. Yearly subscriptions are $39.95 (U.S.) and $59.95 (International).

takes is sending an email to find out.On VJMC.org, VJMC Field Reps have the ability to down-

load the membership contact information from their states. If it

they want more than their home state, it requires authorization from Bill Moore, Field Rep Coordinator, or me since we will have access to the membership information of more members than whom they represent. The current system on our website allows for up to four states. We are looking into expanding this so the Field Rep can download membership contact information from their entire Region.

Speaking of Field Reps, I have received two applications recently; one from the Denver/Boulder, Colo., area and another in Atlantic, Iowa. If you’re interested in becoming a Field Rep, or in organizing your own VJMC chapter, the application is located on the website.

Encourage your friends to join the VJMC! We have decided to continue our successful Freebie-4 membership campaign, and will be introducing other similar campaigns soon. Also, sign up or renew your membership at Mid-Ohio, July 9-11, and receive a free VJMC T-shirt while supplies last!

Well, that’s about it for now. See you all on the road. - Hal Johnson, President

Logistics: Putting the pieces in placeAnatomy of a rally, part 4By Hal JohnsonVJMC president

Representatives from the Shops at Nebraska Crossing, the

location of the 2010 MetricFest in Omaha, Neb., are calling al-most weekly now. They want to be assured that we are capable of organizing the event, not leaving out details, and are thinking seriously about the weight of our moment. Indeed, I have been waiting too. Waiting for the guys in our Nebraska/Iowa VJMC chapter known locally as AMOB, (All Makes Old Bikes), to show some sense of urgency in addressing the logistical issues involved in MetricFest.

Then, almost on a whim, I threw together a group ride one Saturday morning in early April. It was one of those last-minute things; I had a bunch of errands to run and the weather forecast indicated it was going to be a nice weekend to ride. So I invited anybody who wanted to go for a ride to join me in my errand run, and our final stop would be the Shops at Nebraska Crossing.

Only a few people actually showed up to ride; two guys I had only on my mailing list that were not actual AMOB mem-bers, and then some of the regulars. We had a good time riding together, enjoying the first warm blast of spring/summer weather. When we finally arrived at Nebraska Crossing, another one of our regular members was there to meet us. We began to talk about MetricFest, and before long we couldn’t help but begin walking around the Shops and parking lots, laying out the details of various event locations. As we discussed things like parking, traffic flow, registration, banquet and tech seminar location, the bike corral, the show and shine, and the vendor/swap meet requirements, it seemed as though MetricFest finally came to life. The guys were “getting it.”

At our chapter meeting the following afternoon, I wasn’t the only person who voiced a sense of ownership in MetricFest. My fellow riders from the day before were able to describe the layout in detail, and their enthusiasm really caught fire with the rest of the members. We began to discuss the event in much greater detail, which then inspired some of our committee captains to ask ques-tions about their areas; registration, regalia sales, rides, speakers, food, etc. By the end of the evening, we decided that for our next monthly meeting we would meet on-location at MetricFest so everybody could get an up-close understanding of the event.

For our next steps, we need to meet with the Nebraska Crossing management team to discuss our envisioned layout of the various

venues. Traffic flow throughout the site is extremely important because, of course, the Shops will be open during MetricFest. That means we will have vehicle and pedestrian traffic to consider. And of course there are things like restroom facilities to coordinate, and our on-site location for the Saturday night banquet must be brought into play with regard to his location at the Shops.

I have designed the registration form and we purchased a full-page ad in the VJMC magazine for it so we can begin taking registrations. While we certainly don’t envision MetricFest host-ing tens-of-thousands of attendees like Mid-Ohio or Barber’s, we

are being contacted regularly by VJMC members and others from across the country. But without actual registrations, we have no solid numbers from which to plan. So if you’re planning to attend MetricFest, please send in the registration early.

The unique aspect of MetricFest is the fact that it is absolutely free to the attending public. Our AMOB chapter agreed early on that we were not doing this for the revenue, but for the exposure. We want to bring our excitement for vintage motorcycles to the public. If we have the bikes, the vendors, and the activities, we believe this will be a winning formula for everybody. And so far, the indicators are good; I’ve been taking stacks of MetricFest fliers to the local motorcycle dealerships and people receive them well.

Getting the word out is important; if you would like to help make MetricFest successful, please consider posting a flier at your local dealership. They are on the VJMC website: vjmc.org, or you can contact me directly at [email protected] and I’ll email you the flier. ●

Well, you’ve just spent somewhere between $300 and $1,000 for that new chromed exhaust system and mufflers. Or, perhaps you’ve just spent a long weekend washing, wax-

ing and detailing your latest bike acquisition. Here’s what I consider to be the “finishing touch” to any bike exhaust system.

It’s a quick and simple restoration of those crusty (and usu-ally rusty) exhaust joints and collars. Here’s what you’ll need to complete the task:

• Bucket of water, a small scrub brush and a few shop rags.• Can of Strong Arm Sprays Rust Remover or any similar

product.• One small steel brush and one small brass brush (buy at any

paint/hardware store)• Small roll of emery cloth or sheet of emery paper• Can of Silver High Heat Paint (I prefer Ace Hardware brand

for the finished color)

• Small artists paint brush• Piece of 0000 extra fine steel woolWith everything assembled, and a cold drink, it won’t take very

long to make them look new! After removing the joints and collars from the bike, I lay them

on an old rag and spray them with Strong Arm Sprays Rust Remover. Normally 15-20 minutes is all they need to soak (but if really rusty let them soak overnight). Then dip them in the bucket of water and scrub the loose material off and then hose them down. Wipe the excess off and dry them with a shop rag. I use an electric wire wheel or you can use a wire brush to clean out the area between the fins on the joints. I then use a small piece of emery cloth to clean the inside of the joint where the collars are installed. I use the steel toothbrush to really clean the area between the fins and the brass

toothbrush is used to make the chromed fins look new.Now here’s the fun part. Using the small paint brush and the

silver paint, I slowly and methodically paint the area between the fins and the underside of the joints. Here’s where your favorite liquid refreshment comes in handy! The inserts are sprayed on both sides and I usually do this in between joint painting. After the joints dry, I then use 0000 extra fine steel wool to clean the fins and remove any excess paint. This will also polish them to a nice shine.

When installing them, I will either use new nuts and split wash-ers or re-paint the hardware with the silver high heat paint after cleaning them.

We are fortunate to have had the White Rose Motorcycle Club grounds as our home for the Vin-

tage Japanese Motorcycle Meet and Show for so many years. The Codorus State Park is just a few miles down the road plus a multitude of back country roads in the area making it the ideal location for you to take a ride on your vintage Japanese motorcycle. Nearby Hanover and York provide the essentials: ho-tels, restaurants, and stores. The White Rose Club offers camping and operates an all-day restaurant in their beautiful club house (also equipped with restrooms for all and showers for the campers). This event is one of the highlights for vintage Japanese collectors

and enthusiasts in the area; 2009 was our highest-attended to date.

Vendors started arriving on Thursday before the vending spots were marked on the field. They were so anxious to get into their spots that they grabbed paint cans and helped us in laying out the field! We have plenty of room for more vendors and campers as we continue to grow.

Vendors continued to arrive day and night, even some late arrivals on Saturday morning, which is normally the busiest day of the meet. In the Bike Corral, bikes were coming and going by the buyers and sell-ers. It is not just the buying and selling, it is old friends and new friends getting together,

swapping stories, discussing engines, telling of new restorations, playing guitars, and just having a good time that draw; it is more of a family reunion than a motorcycle meet.

Sunday morning, those with bikes fore judging were awake early cleaning, wiping and polishing. We had almost 100 bikes in

the show and we had trophies in many different categories. Best of Show for 2009 was Richard Holman’s 1973 Kawasaki Z1. Trophy categories include Best Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Bridgestone and Hodaka, Classic, Post-Classic, Vintage, Enduro, On & Off Road, Mini-Bike, Competition, Most Unique and more.

This year’s meet will be held August 20-22. Get away for a few days and see the largest Japanese-only motorcycle meet in the East (so I have been told). If you have questions or additional information, please email [email protected] or call 717-938-4753. ●

On March 29, Arizona members of the VJMC participated in the 26th Annual Palm Sunday show put on by the Arizona Antique and Classic Motorcycle Enthusiasts. This show is the

premier antique motorcycle competition in Arizona. This is a judged show for stock-appearing bikes built prior to 1980. Since many members of the local VJMC group don’t meet those criteria, AACME is nice enough to allow a special area within the show for VJMC members to display their bikes. This year’s turnout was impressive.

In the judged classes VJMC members took home many trophies. The best Japanese Bike award went to VJMC member Bill Bratt for his 1966 Honda Scrambler. This bike is impressive, to say the least; it only missed first place last year by three incorrect fasteners on the igni-tion cover (now corrected). Member Rich Maury came out this year in force after winning the class last year with a 1979 CB750 Anniversary model with 0 miles on the odometer. This year, Rich brought a 1977 CB400F that he purchased from the original owner; it was stunning in its condition. Rich also brought a 1990 GB500 that he displayed in the VJMC area. This bike also appeared to be brand new.

The competition for Best Japanese Bike was heavily contested by Bart Iden’s 1966 Suzuki X-6 Hustler, which was every bit as perfect as Bill Bratt’s winning Scrambler. It was almost a dead heat between the Scrambler and the Hustler, with a second review required to pick the ultimate winner. I entered my 1975 Suzuki RE-5 hoping to win for most unique bike, no luck.

The non-competitive display was packed with VJMC members showing a wide array of models. New member Jerry O’Hanlon rode in on his 1979 CBX that has less than 2,000 miles since new. It rested inside his home for many years and only recently has been filled with

fluids and ridden. Member Holly Schabel and her hus-band brought out their Honda CB100 and CX500 Turbo. This was their first showing and almost ended in mayhem when the CX500 fell on the trailer. Luckily, without damage to the bike.

Other highlights included several early 1980s Honda In-terceptors. VJMC webmaster Jon Radermacher was delighted to see numerous 1980s Suzuki GS models in attendance. The group around our display area grew quickly and stayed busy all day. Members are getting to know each other and interact well at our events.

This is the second year for the VJMC to participate in this event. I would like to thank Dave and Karen of the AACME for being so gracious to allow the VJMC their own display area. ●

At the second annual vintage Japanese bike show at ASK Powersports in Columbus, Ohio, we had 50 motorcycles reg-istered, 50-mph wind gusts, and 50-degree temperature.

The Central Ohio VJMC crew showed up early for setup, so I was brimming with confidence that we could get the show laid out quickly. All went great until we set up our pop-up tents. First, 10-lbs. concrete edging blocks secured the pop-ups for only a short while. It was quite a spectacle with eight of our members dutifully holding a leg of a pop up for about a half hour until some 40-lbs. blocks were brought in from a hardware store. We walked away certain that the job was done. In less than five minutes, I noticed both pop-ups were sideways catching wind like parachutes (So much for using the pop-ups this year.) Matt Reither and Dick Colburn really did yeoman service trying to hold down registration forms and flying cash.

At least there was no rain, although it certainly threatened. Despite the wind chill, which was edging down to the mid 40s, we had a wonderful display of pristine motorcycles.

We had lots of door prizes and even a grand prize of a free

pizza each month for a year, compliments of my friends at Flyers Pizza in Columbus.

Eric Kessler a local VJMC member recently back from a Moto Giro East race, also supplied several Gift Cards from Bravo Restau-rants. Sandy Parsons of our sponsoring dealership, ASK Powersports, again graciously allowed us to take up most of their parking lot,

and supplied us with logistical help and door prizes.

Don Slicker, the Southern Ohio VJMC Field Rep, and I, both happened to bring gor-geous, stock red Hon-das; one a CB350K1 the other CL350K1. Seeing these side by side was like looking at

a 1969 showroom. As we scanned the early entries, we were both secretly thinking that we might have a shot at the 60s-class trophy. Our hopes faded fast when Rex Williams unloaded three beautifully restored Honda 350s, which spanned classes in both the 60s and 70s. Marcus Swan, a trophy winner last year, didn’t disappoint the crowd this year. Both Marcus and Rex walked away with two trophies apiece!

The lot was filled with stories, swap-ping tales and freely offered advice. Also it is always very gratifying watching guys, who know they don’t stand a chance of winning a trophy, still wanting to show off their proud possessions to a generation of people who have never seen them. ●

Wisconsin show marks its 23rd yearBy John PattersonWisconsin field rep

The S&K Service 23rd Annual Swap Meet, billed as the longest and largest swap meet of it’s kind in Wisconsin, was held on May 1 near Weston, Wis., at the Central Wisconsin Auto Auction. Hun-dreds of enthusiasts turned out for the event on a beautiful, partly cloudy day where the temperatures hovered around 70 degrees. The event had many VJMC members in attendance as well as a strong showing from our friends in the VJMC Minnesota chapter.

There was a steady stream of folks coming to the VJMC booth all day, including four new members that joined the club during the event – please welcome Wayne Richter, Bob Raddatz, Mike Wendt, and Robert Kluender. I later received an email from Jeff Lewis whom I met at the event and he informed me he would be joining as well! Quite a few other vintage motorcycle enthusiasts left with registration materials, so we may grow even larger as a result.

I felt very fortunate to have met in person many of the Wis-

The VJMC booth included three of the author’s 650s and one of his RD200s.

consin VJMC members that I have enjoyed chatting with via email over the last few years. There was never a lack of conversation at the booth, whether it was questions about the VJMC, restorations, where to buy parts or just making new friends. The only drawback

is that we were pretty close to the speaker system, so I was pretty hoarse by the end of the event.

The event included the usual huge swap meet, a bike show sponsored by the Rib Mountain Rider’s Motorcycle club, a motor-cycle auction, and two food vendors. The bike auction started about 1 p.m. and ran for about 2 hours. There were many nice looking motorcycles inside to be purchased. In addition there were bikes on the grounds that were also for sale, and several VJMC members went away with less space in their garage than when they started. I heard of a couple folks that actually left with more than one!

Thanks to Steve at S&K Service in Hatfield, Wis., for giv-ing us an opportunity to take part in his event, and the wonderful spot for our booth next to the Bike Show. We are already looking forward to a great event by S&K in 2011. ●

COVER STORY

June 2010 www.vjmc.org 21

In 1995, I was looking at ads in the Sunday Detroit News for early Honda CL72 scramblers, when I ran across a classified ad that said, “1963 Honda CL 72 250 Scrambler. Very rare, only a few hundred of these were made that year with a red frame. Also included is a very rare factory option non painted light aluminum alloy tank. Runs great!” That was the first time I became aware that the Honda factory had offered a light aluminum alloy gas tank for their very early CL72 scrambler.

In 2003, at the AMCA Wauseon, Ohio, vintage meet, I actually saw one of the unique tanks in person. It was at the end of the last day of the show and a fellow had the tank on a 1963 CL72 he was loading on his trailer. The tank was obviously different; though it was the same shape as the steel tank, the alloy was polished and the gas cap was very different. In fact, initially, I thought the bike owner had perhaps chrome-plated his tank due to the luster of the alloy. When I approached the bike’s owner, he proudly pointed to that tank as one of the original light alloy gas tanks Honda offered back in 1962.

Over the next few years, more information about the elusive tanks’ existence surfaced, including details like this report:

“The Honda Scrambler 250 CL72 (1962-1965) was similar to the CB72 Hawk 250. The headlight shell, frame, upper fork covers, fork legs, and shock covers were painted the basic color scheme of Blue with Silver, Scarlet Red with Silver, and Black with Silver. The fuel tank, side covers, and fenders were silver or polished alloy on the first few shipments. The gas tank had rubber knee pads and less than 125 aluminum alloy tanks were delivered to the U.S. from the Honda factory. Some arrived painted, in the familiar satin sil-ver while others were delivered in the raw aluminum alloy state. These alloy tanks were for racing purposes and had a ‘handmade appearance.’ ”

In January 2009, I was able to purchase a very early CL72. While it had all the correct parts, including the small taillight lens, light

alloy fenders and a wiring harness that was stamped CL72 1962, it needed to be restored. As Matt Tate and I worked on completing the bike’s re-plating, painting and polishing needs, that rare alloy tank kept creeping into my mind. This bike would be nice looking with the stock grey tank … but it would be something special if I could just find one of those remaining factory alloy tanks for our restoration.

Because of the downturn in our economy, many collectors are selling bikes and parts that they would never sell otherwise. That’s the reason I was finally able to locate a beautiful 1962 Honda CL72 alloy tank from a long-time collector who was selling some of his rarest treasurers. In his ad, the seller described the tank, “A rare very early Honda aluminum pop-top fuel tank for the CL72 CL77 250 305 Scrambler. It is used and in excellent condition. It doesn’t look like it was used very much, given its condition. The gas cap works great on this fuel tank. Last one I sold was NOS and it sold for $3,000.”

The seller and I negotiated the price and a few days later, a large box arrived on my front porch. By the way, I voluntarily added an additional $15 to the price so the seller would be able to add $5,000 in additional insurance.

We opened the box and found yet another box … the original Honda factory box that the tank came to America in, back in the 1960s. The man who had this tank was wise enough to keep that tank in its original box with the packing. Not only did it double-protect the tank during shipment, but the original box alone was a “real find” for those of us who treasure these bikes.

When the tank was removed from the box, we finally were able to see in person one of the most unique parts of the Honda factory alloy tanks—the gas cap. This alloy cap was also machined from the light alloy and included machined tabs for the installation of safety wire. The factory believed that the CL72 would be used for several types of competition, including desert racing. The thought of the gas cap popping open, during a spill, caused Honda to install the safety wire option.

As hard as it is to believe, for those of us who enjoy these early efforts by Honda, some of the original 100 tanks were cut open, so the gas cap itself could be removed and used on other off road vehicles, including custom-built dune buggies. Occasionally, one of these tanks that has the cap cut off, appears on Ebay. If the folks

who did this damage knew how rare the tanks would become, they probably would not have ripped off the gas cap.

Our inspection of the rest of the tank showed that it was in excellent shape, but had been painted by a previous owner. While the paint was nicely applied, it was too glossy and did not match the original luster Honda factory painters used. Since we had seen early pictures of Honda scramblers with these tanks, shown in their raw alloy state that matched the early CL72’s polished light alloy fenders, we decided to remove the paint and simply polish the light metal, rather than apply paint again.

Removing the previous paint was much more work that we had anticipated! The painter who coated this tank before we received it utilized a paint that was extremely resistant to paint removing

chemicals. We applied 12 separate coats of over the counter, liquid paint remover with each application removing a thin layer of paint. But we did not want to step up to more aggressive methods such as blasting or the use of more powerful chemicals, because we were dealing with ultralight aluminum alloy that could be damaged by harsh handling.

After 12 hours of paint removal work, we were finally down to the black primer, but suddenly I noticed a light green color on the right front of the tank. Living in the Detroit area, working with cars and bikes for 50 years, I knew what that green substance was … body filler! This is not what we wanted to see in an expensive light tank.

When the paint, primer and filler were finally removed we were pleased to find that the previous painter was meticulous in his preparation. The filler was used to repair a couple of ¼” shallow dents on the tank—the only marks we found on the tank. Not bad, but the tank was so rare, we wanted it to be as perfect as possible.

We knew exactly who to bring the tank to, for his expert metal repair opinion: Ron Fournier, the metal smith who earlier in the year had repaired the alloy fenders on this same Honda CL72. Ron would be able to tell us if the tiny dents could be repaired without doing more damage to the tank.

After a few minutes of his examination of the tank, he told me he would “try” to repair the tank. The location of the marks concerned him because they were on the front right flat portion of the tank and would be difficult for him to reach with his special tools, from the inside, entering through the gas cap.

First day of sanding with 2000 grit ultra-fine wet sandpaper.

24 www.vjmc.org June 2010

But he would do his best.Just two days later, Fournier’s daughter, company VP Nicole,

called and said the tank was finished. After searching for one of these unique tanks for many years, the trip back to the shop was filled with anticipation. As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about. Ron’s “best efforts” had completely removed the marks! This was excellent news. We realize that we are fortunate to have a world-class metal smith who is able to “bring back” our vintage motorcycle parts. Because of Ron’s efforts, we now had a tank that was ready for hand polishing.

We began by wet sanding the tank with the finest paper, 2,000-grit, which barely took off anything. But we noticed the fine scratches that were present from its original factory production began to disappear. That wet sanding process alone took 4-plus hours.

Next, we turned to Wizards metal polish. We have used Wizards in the past and are very satisfied with the results, especially their Power Seal for finished polished aluminum cases or parts; it is a liquid that you apply like a wax and wipe off when it dries.

We began with Wizards’ Metal Polish for Motorcycles. It comes in a treated cotton coil stored in a small metal can and the cloth is

impregnated with the metal-polishing chemical. We alternated be-tween the treated cotton system and then would switch to Wizards’ Metal Renew. Switching between the products broke the monotony of hand polishing the 50-year-old metal gas tank. After each round of polishing, the Wizards compound improved the finish of the alloy and lifted our spirits showing that the end of the polishing portion of the restoration was coming!

Realizing that hand polishing this tank was going to take sev-eral days, I contacted Mark Mederski, a recognized expert when it comes to the Honda CL72 model. I first became familiar with Mark when he was one of the judges who reviewed our bikes at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Concours events in Pickerington, Ohio. Over the years, we have become friends and I find myself seek-ing his advice while working on our restorations. I asked Mark to explain the origin of these factory Honda alloy tanks and why they were produced back in 1962:

From the very beginning, Soichiro Honda molded his motor com-pany as one that would be heavily involved in competition. Honda believed, as many did in his time, that racing improved the machine

and also proved to potential customers the quality, dependability and outright performance of his motorcycles and later, his automobiles.

While the company was building very limited runs of racing mo-torcycles beginning in the late 1950s, they were also making “customer racers” or CR models. Experts might estimate annual production of factory racers at half a dozen, CR’s sold to the racing public at maybe 50-100 per year. In addition, to assist the average local owner inter-ested in racing, Honda made available “racing kit” parts. The CB92 and 250/300 model Hawks and Super Hawks had the most extensive list. Tuned megaphones, alloy rims, number plate brackets, velocity stacks, seats and rear fenders were on the list and you could place an order with your local Honda shop and order up what you needed to go racing on the club level. However, few knew of these racing parts, and not many were actually made and sold.

The 250 Scrambler, CL72, also had a few items available; gear-ing, a rear fender extension, a shorter seat and, most interesting, an alloy tank with a “racing” flip cap. Looking back at 1962 when the CL hit the streets, and dirt, it was realistic to consider these machines as competitive against European and British scrambles machines. Hondas certainly were tougher and more dependable. Honda focused on road racing for the most part, at factory, professional and amateur levels but knew from experience in Japan, that the off road market wanted good machines as well. They hoped these parts would help those who wanted to race off road and tailer their machines to the competitive events. Of course, this was right at the time two-strokes hit the markets in Europe, and shortly four-stroke machines were left in the dust.

Back in the 1960s few ever owned, or even saw a CL72 alloy tank. Hand hammered and welded in the same form as the stock steel tank offering indents for classic tank badges and flanges for

the knee pads, the cap is all that might give away these super light, somewhat crude silver painted “racing” tanks. Today, even heavily damaged they fetch big money with a perfect one going for over $2000. Twenty years ago, $100 would have bought one as few knew or cared about them.

If you see a CL72 seat that looks oddly short, and has no strap, or a Scrambler tank that looks a bit lumpy, and feels light as a feather, you may have come across these two rare CL72 racing parts. But as time has passed, knowledge of such goodies has become more widespread. The grin on the seller’s face will let you know he fully understands what you have in your hands.

During the final stages of polishing the tank, I used the services of Glenn Gibbons from RT Custom Polishing in Romulus, Mich. I was given his name by Fournier when I told Ron I was going to hand polish the tank.

I took the tank to Glenn’s shop; he is a retired auto worker who has enjoyed polishing the parts for both custom cars and mo-torcycles. Glenn uses special proprietary techniques to bring metal surfaces to whatever level of finish the owners would like. Our hand polishing had already brought the alloy to a high finish, so Glenn’s task was eased.

You can see the results of our work in the final pictures that were taken in April on the shores of Lake Michigan by Doug Mitchel, the author and photographer of the “Standard Catalog of Japanese Motorcycles.” What a difference in results when a “real” photog-rapher takes pictures of your motorcycle!

Our search to find one of the few original alloy 1962 Honda CL72 scrambler tanks in existence is over. But as we all know, there will always be more challenges and other searches. ●

Honda 400F vs. a grandfather

clock

HEIRlOOMS

Some families have grandfa-ther clocks they pass from generation to generation;

our family has a 1976 CB400F. It all began in April of 1977. At the time, 62 cents per gallon seemed like highway robbery. My 41-mile commute to work was costing me too much money on gas, at least this was my excuse.

By Lloyd BlytheVJMC board member

HEIRlOOMS

One April Saturday morning, Deb and I visited the local Honda dealers in Poughkeepsie. I really liked the new 1977 Honda 750, but our budget would not stretch that far. Sitting on the showroom floor was a used red 1976 400F with less than 1,000 miles. We looked at it, sat on it, and thought about it. One week later we took the 400F home, including a coupon payment book in my pocket.

The Honda 400F was my first street bike. I had ridden some, the usual mini bikes, and scooters. Smooth and dependable, what I thought then was fast, and so much fun in the corners. I was hooked! For the next 4-5 years I rode the 400F through our short New York summers to and from work. Occasionally, Deb and I would pack our gear, find a babysitter and sneak away for a weekend road trip with friends. Camping gear, food and a few clothes riding two-up on a 400cc motorcycle, we ventured as far away as Lake Placid. The little 400F never skipped a beat.

In 1984 we put motorcycling on the back burner for awhile. I mentioned I was thinking of selling the 400F to my Dad, who imme-diately said he wanted to buy it. He had ridden it a few times before, and compared to the Indians and Harleys of his day. In early 1993, we moved to Charlotte (nearer to Dad). In Dad’s garage, covered

with a moving blanket and a fine layer of dust, I found the 400F. He hadn’t ridden it in years. It looked in great shape. Before I know it I’m pulling the carbs off and cleaning it with hopes to make it run. Weeks later Dad gave me the bike, registered and ready to ride.

I rode the 400F for pleasure that summer; Deb and I took a few short rides together, but we needed a bigger bike. The 400F was tucked away and we bought a 1981 Suzuki 850GS, and then a 1996 ST1100. We ride often, the more we ride the more we enjoy.

Somewhere in the late 90s, a buddy and I rode to Mid-Ohio for Vintage Motorcycle Days. There amongst the vendors, Jim Townsend talked me into joining the VJMC. (Up to that point, I never really thought about it being something one would collect.)

In June 1999, Deb and I were packed and ready for the Honda Hoot in Asheville, N.C. Two days before we were to leave, our son, Lloyd, called from London where he was based in the USAF. He suddenly had two weeks off, and would be home the next day. ... Out of mothballs came the trusty 400F, and two days later the three of us headed to the Hoot. Lloyd Jr. rode the 400F, following us here and there for the entire week. Everywhere we went, the crowds checked out the guy on the 1976 400F; he and that little

bike were a hit!In October 2008, at the Barber Vintage Festival, we had all

three generations of Lloyd Blythes in attendance to enjoy the event. We all did a parade lap too, with Dad (76 years young) on the 400F, Lloyd Jr. riding Deb’s 1975 GL1000, and yours truly on my 1979 CBX.

Lots of families have heirlooms they pass from generation to generation. For the Blythes, it is a red 1976 Honda CB400F. ●
