Frank on American Pickers bought a 71 H1 for $150 on tonight's episode! Vry dirty, motor seized, but appears to be mostly there.

I think that one was a repeat. Was it the one where they dragged it out with a tractor?

On the one I saw, they couldn't move the H1 because the chain was froze and they acted like it would take a Manhattan Project to get it home.

Moving bikes with stuck rear wheels is 'business as usual' around my place.

Saw it also, definitely a new one. The first came out of the undergrowth, this one was inside.

I think Frank said it was a 71, but it had the 69/70 tank. At least they got closer on the name for the bike, "the widowmaker" vs. "bronco" in the previous episode.
