My Harley was stolen from me in '74 and I only had enough money to buy a used Honda 750 semi-chop. That changed my life because I found a bike that would always get me home! Dependable, quick and what I liked best was the Harley riders hated them. Chopping Jap bikes was popular and parts availability was plentiful. We had it good!
I went full chop in '77 and never looked back. The problem was the Honda
chopper fell from popularity and I was left in a wasteland of Harley
choppers. Wherever I went, I was the only Honda Chop there.
Every once and awhile I'd find a Brother
on a Honda and we would celebrate our uniqueness.
"Slick's Note": as you can see The Lady started life as a SOHC 750 Honda. Lady DR later changed to a DOHC powerplant. From what I understand he is happy he did. And he should be. A stock DOHC 750 is faster than a 836 kit motor. They are 4Valve per Cylinder screamers. Take a moment and look at the attention to detail in all of the versions of The Lady, THAT is what sets apart a Great Chopper from the Ordinary. Attention to Detail"
