Scrambler 500cc two stroke with a rigid frame ...  odd combo ...

I suppose if you shorten the forks you could make a board racer out of it  :D

In my 57 years of riding, that has to be one of the scariest looking motorcycles and I use the term loosely I've ever seen. Those things were death traps when they were shoved into a Champion or Trackmaster frame. That thing is just a gear shift away from sending you to the morgue.

But WTF, under the right circumstances I could probably get talked into riding it around the block at least once, just so I could say I did it.  ::) :o ;D ;D ;D

Well, at least he didn't fall out of a 6-story high hospital or apartment window.   ::)
