- Absolutely! I grew up in Fort Worth, graduated from Eastern Hills High in 1976......Pickard is a friend since Jr High. I went to the races all the time! Mosier Valley, Paradise Valley, Whitney, etc......
I recognise a lot of the names on this site.
Craig Knight dated a girl from EHHS....a yr younger than myself.
I remember the "streaker" event at Mosier! Really funny!

dear God..., is this a rotary "Zed"? please don't let Jack see it!
it does appear to be one of the early CZ "monoshock" models with the suspension mounted there between the horn, and below the tank. ; )
sparkplugs?
Worse than a HODAKA ROAD TOAD< NO USEFUL PURPOSE OTHER THAN SETTING AROUND GOING RIVET RIVET RIVET
super trick
IT is called a Kramer Maico, little known
That's shocking!
look closely, it's a twin shocker.
Hodakas are just weird. this is no exception. notice the rear shocks, dead vertical, just like the "Stupor" Rat.
I SAW LARS WIN THE SUPPORT CLASS AT CONROE MX IN HOUSTON THE SUMMER OF '71 ON THAT BIKE(WE HAD NO IDEA HOW TRICK THAT BIKE WAS) PHIL SNIPES GOT SECOND THAT DAY, MARK MOORE ALSO PLACED IN THE TOP 10, THAT IS THE RACE I MEET DAVE BICKERS, WHAT A NICE…
A FRIEND OF MINE IN H.S. HIS DAD HAD ONE OF THESE THINGS, IT WAS COOL LOOKING BUT WAS REAL SLOW..... ITS A TRIALS BIKE. BUT THAT THING WOULD CLIMB A TREE. WE USED TO RIDE WITH HIM ON THE TRINITY RIVER TRAILS BEHIND BURTON HILL. WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW W…
That's a neat artical about Phil and Lars!
It is a 76 - the 77s were blue
But they were very small to save weight.
1976 Model

Lars said his were made of steel, anyway.
This could be a '76, even a '77 model, I think.
Haslet Joe has a '77 on the stand right now, and it looks just like it. His has leading axle forks, but his manual says it came with straight legs.
New fenders installed by yours truly, and yes, they a…
It must be fast because the front motor mount was engineered for the extreme Greeves power. I believe MKA went to school was Charlie Greeves and will have something German to say on the subject. Martin "poking the bear" Brazil
anyone who ever went fast on a Greeves has my admiration!
