This was my one and only bike from back in the 70's. Bought this bike new in '74, Kawasaki MK IV 750. You talk about knocking the cobwebs outta your head in a hurry wow!

Holy crap, talk about going right past the frying pan, right into the fire!

Probably the hottest stock vehicle of any kind, on the road, period, during that time.

Never heard of Frankie Drake. I just looked her up and sure enough, she rides a Janus! Looks to be the first version, 50 cc.

 

[Bill Ashton]

I think her Janus bike is supposed to emulate something she rode as a courier/spy during WW1. Not quite sure how I originally learned it was a Janus, maybe from credits at end of a show. Looks good to a old Honda 90/Suzuki 120 rider like me

Retiring soon and hope to put this engine back in the new chassis I built for it. Old chassis was totaled in an engine explosion.
The first Ironhead HD was almost 70 years ago. This one started life as a 72 XLCH. It's a mix of 69, 72 and 74 now.

From a road trip thru the Monarch Pass on the I-50 in Colorado. At the summit, there was a gift shop/store that had Steve McQueens original Husky from the movie On Any Sunday.

It's good that "Triumph" made a comeback. Marlon Brando... The Wild One... back in the days when British motorcycles where cool.
"B.M.W." ones are nice, but expensive.
