Following up last year’s digital re-release of ‘Roadworthy’, a feature on ‘Black Flash’ will headline part two of the series. Years ago, under different ownership, this same bike was featured in that column but much has changed. Speaking of different, WMM’s Bol tribute CX100 (with grafted-on LM IV chin fairing) continues to creep towards completion. Anybody got a stainless Zard 2-into-2 laying around? Ride a classic?

“In the 750S we see for the first time that classic SF profile, growing in specification from the GT without fork shrouds, parcel rack and touring handlebar that all mark revisions until the Sport’s production start in the spring of 1969. Both the 750S and American Eagle Super Sport continued with the 18” spoked aluminum Borrani wheels and huge Grimeca drums; the front measuring over nine-inches in diameter. AE’s SS is an extremely rare variant on the theme, promoted in ads wearing a Kenevil-type coffin tank (reputedly in fiberglass) and a choice of seats with ‘American Eagle’ silk screened in bold white across the rear hump. By 1971 AE had landed in liquidation, leading to speculation what California’s Edison Dye company (west coast importer for Husky) might have brought in after assuming import duties.” Nolan Woodbury – Laverda Twins – Classic Bike Guide
