My cousin found a NSU 500cc Konsul II engine, that some one stuffed into a hard tail 1960ish Mustang motor scooter frame, with 2.25x16" Ducati 125 front wheel An 18" Indian Warrior Scout 249 rear wheel..3.25x8" tyre.. Pirelli Universal tyres. $50 in the palmettos under a tarp...behind Northway Nicks Indian Sales/Chopper shop... Out Dale Mabry Highway, north of Tampa's Lovengreens Cycle Salvage/BMW dealer.... And ATTEMPT at building a speedway bike, as it turned out.... ( We had a 1/3rd mile clay oval up at our Dade City FLA, County Fairgrounds) Using the center of the NSU frame. Grafting the Mustang bits to it!. An FAA certified aviation welder guy did that job.... Pillion seat on the fender, small chopper type sprung saddle... Ended up handling GREAT on smooth I-4/US-301/US-92 clover leafs... Out east of Tampa, FLA where I lived. Turned heads at Sebring 12 Hours, and Daytona AMA 200 1968 No other example EVER seen... Cylinder head between knees... Chrome E. European gas tank right in front of ones FACE sheald AAF Goggles.... Instant wheelies.... Valves could be set for MORE torque or more power..... External degree markers.... Twin exhausts from one valve..... At idle the piston sat still The BIKE went up and down And at 55 mph your eyeballs RATTLED.... But 70-75 was butter smooth And extra rear wheel with a knobbie made it a real CLIMBER Dry phosphate pits of CROOMS Park near Gainesville... Up I-75.... Look up Konsul II on boards here on YT to get some idea of that MOTOR HERE: czcams.com/video/PS-SDQVhQt4/video.html&ab_channel=G%C3%BCnterZulbeck and: czcams.com/video/hQb-P1NTh6s/video.html&ab_channel=G%C3%BCnterZulbeck We named the bike: UGONDA As it was Ugondous! An ultimate THUMPER! Good for 85 -88 mph in the quarter... But GENTLE off the line.... Wheelie in 3rd.. almost in 4th One had to be careful.... And it was an easy cranker... No compression relief no spark retarding Needed! AND it was FUN to run and bump! At places such was never seen.... Chopper people thought it COOL! Memories! J.C. Age 72....
The piston sits still.... The BIKE goes up and down... We had one in PARTS of a Mustang Motor Scooter hard tail frame.... 18" Indian 440 Warrior rear wheel 16" Ducati 125 front wheel...
