I'm in for a set.

I was riding the 74 Jackpiner. One of the most fun rides I've ever done. The spectators were jacked up to see the old bikes. High fives and thumbs up all day. The bike turns great and tracks well. Log crossings and chatter bumps, well thats a different story. Its been a week and the tingling in my hands has stopped. Allready talk of next year.

Jerry, I tore ACL, MCL, Meniscus nearly two years ago. Had cadaver ACL replacement a month after the injury. All went fine, the knee keeps getting better. I'm 53 and most of the time I can't tell what knee had the problem. Hope yours goes as well.

Thanks Lew, a great thread. I think preservation is in order on this one.

I have a very nice 1974, 175 Jackpiner. Tank and side plates have been repainted and look great. Best I can tell about 1,000 miles on it, original frame paint, motor etc. New fenders, air boot, brake pedal and a couple of other odds and ends, wheels are very good. Excellent motor, pipe etc. Frame has a couple of very small surface rust spots on the swingarm. Have an itch for a restoration project but don't want to decrease its value. Plan to ride it once of twice a year, special occasions. May ride the Jackpine Endoro on it this year. Your thoughts, restore or leave as is?,
