Question…. Are you guys a real club???****Answer: That depends on how you define it! There are now quite a few who claim membership. All kinds, some are motorcycle people. Some may not be. Some, you don’t want to F$#* with. Some of us ride togeather in a group. Some of us ride solo. All of us are working on our mental health. Remember, if you’re a Lucky Bastard, you are Bitchin’, everyone else is just food!

Questions, questions, questions…——-I was asked the other day why we ride.. The best I could come up with is “to maintain my mental health”. Works for me!

OK children, are you ready for a Thanksgiving day story? Here goes… Between 1923 and 1927 there was a motorcycle made in Germany that looked like a 101 Scout. So much so, that when Indian sued, production stopped. Now that’s all well and good. Here’s the interesting part. They made 45″ overhead valve version with dual exhaust ports.. I can’t help but wonder… Would the top end from a Mabeco OHV fit on a 101 Scout…. Do you think Paul Bigsby had that thought???? Well Mabeco also made a racer that was a 996cc OHV. If anyone has information on the Mabeco or photo’s.. Contact someone who cares…. Oh, that would be Blind Melon.

Sorry for the blurry photo. Pictures of this OHV bike are a little scarce. This is a 1927 Mabeco 750, or 45″, Sport Model.

This Mabeco is in the AMCA museum. Notice the twin leaf springs. Indian used a single leaf spring. It still looks like a copy..

The wingnuts would call her a poser. The center stand is down. Isn’t it OK to pose for the camera?
