No kidding, this was applied by a previous owner to a shock
absorber on my 1972 Honda C70M-K1, my how politically
incorrect.

And this is a photo of my "Pidgeon Wing", 72 cc's of screaming fury!
It had rested in a neighbor's storage shed for 18 years, uncovered and mainly
used as a shelf for storing bags of fertilizer. The crud probably served to
protect the paint as it did not fare to poorly, and having a crankcase full
of oil helped preserve the motor.
It took quite a bit of work on my part, and help from the friendly folks at the parts counter down at Link Cycle Service in Coopersburg, PA to get this running. |
| Here is another photo of the Pidgeon Wing, this is more recent and shows the leather saddle bags which I installed. The bags came from Blackman's Cycle in Emmaus, PA and 1" nylon webbing and buckles came from a local hardware store. |

For added carrying capacity I've added something completely different
for the C70....a used Samsonite travel trunk! I bought this gem from
Scooter Therapy
of Madison, WI. It is way oversize for the Super Cub style bike, it
looks like it may have been intended for a GL1000 or some such. However,
now it is easier to haul my lunch to work!
This is the custom mount that I made for the trunk....note the fine
woodwork acquired from the lid of a crate. |

And to those who mock me, call my bike a "moped" and tell me to "Get a Harley!", I say fear the wrath of Cthulhu! |
