Hiro question

[TGTech]

If anybody needs Motoplats for the Hiro's, let me know, because I still have a bunch of them.

Hi all, Beware - I just bought a scanner


Here's my Hiro Penton when it was only 2 days old, back in 1975. I'm test riding it for the first time - prepared to go racing the following day.

Bob, cool pics and you still own this bike? I wish I had more pics. Even my digital pics of bikes I have owned lately are getting deleted before making any copies. Thats something to think about cause I know you treasure the old bike and pics. Someone else will too hopefully years from now. Easy,TTP

I don't know if he still has it or not, but as of a few years ago Jim Letellier (Letko Cycles, Kansas City, KS) had a NOS Hiro engine sitting on the shelf.

I built 2 out of existing Pentons and NOS engines (1 for a customer and 1 for myself).  Mine are not originals but are in showroom condition.

Rob,
I think Jeff was refering to the NOS Hiro engine.

Is it possible that by building retro-Hiros, that more may be assembled now than were originally built??
