Hercules 175 GS 1976. Maiden flight!
« on: March 25, 2012, 09:04:59 pm »
Due to delays to other projects I've been busy fettling this beast instead. Took it out for its first nervous rattle around today........and its still running at the end of the day! Good result. Now, which Vinduro to use it at. I'll have to learn to use a clutch again  8)

Exellent  :) the ole 7 speed gets a bit of bad press as do Maico 125s  ::) but when set up correctly they are great  :)

That is a very cool bike you have  8)
