I am fully aware of it. It was a coffee table when I went to work for Russ, and I worked on the "Blow Job", (The Sorcerer, the twin engine V8), also, the single case Hottels V8 engine that Terry Vance got banned, and the inline 4 rear engine bike. We actually used the Hottels engine at shows to irritate Vance into demanding no new bikes had over 4 cylinders, nothing over 2,000 cc's. It worked, Vance took the bait, and we built the rear engine bike, engine, drive, trans, clutch, rear end, the whole bike, all from scratch.
In the last 4 hours here, my neighbor gave me a complete roller chassis H1D, with tank, tail section, side covers, full roller. It was completely free, no cost, and it was an engine donor to Bob Braverman's H1 Sidecar this same neighbor bought almost 8 years ago. He sold the "chair" (complete sidecar) some years ago, never did restore it.
I have a nice, liquid cooled H2 hot rod engine I am going to put in this H1 chassis, should be a fun canyon carver bike.
