I wish I could have warned you. Any female told me to get rid of the bikes, I got rid of them instead. You'll never compete with my first love, honey. Get use to it, or get over it, or get the fuck out! I've been a happy man ever since high school. The look on my high school buddy when he said he was going to get married. It was the saddest face I ever saw. LOLA fucking flow bench?... Go to your room!
Lol, Hub, I can honestly say I was lucky because my ex-wife also loved motorcycles, lol ...back then, the flowbench only cost $1,800.00 I think I probably spent more than that in all the Neway valve seat cutters and valve guide pilots I had. It was money well spent!
In 73 I bought my first new bike a Z1.a certain gentleman by the name of Lang Hindle became a friend. Honda 450 pistons flycut and balanced yoshimuira cams ,mikuni smooth bores , modified oil pan,ported head ,balanced crank and a Hindle header all ended up on my Z1.yup I had a 115 hp Z1 if anyone asked what was done to her"nothing , just a pipe"he laid down the shocks raked the front end a couple of degrees to improve handling.I loved that bike.My moms sister was going thru a divorce she and her three sons moved in with us .i was sharing the basement with my cousin one winter night he came home to find the Z1 in his bed front wheel on the pillow and blanket covering the bike.I think he called me fuckin crazy ass-hole
darryle, I think I found a picture of your bike, lol

Cblast, I think this is the first time I read anything about Hub yesteryears.
