A life of VJMs By John Walter

lived in a small Mississippi river town in Iowa growing up, and it was an unusually warm day in February 1970 when I saw my first love out the corner of my eye. She was I in the display window of the town’s only boat and outboard motor store, and she was the coolest motorcycle I had ever seen: a blend of chrome, the most awesome orange paint and a gloss enameled frame. I hit the brakes, turned around and practically ran into the store. “How’s it going kid? Looking for a boat?” My son, Jerod, and I with our restored 1976 CB550F and 1969 asked the owner. CB750K0. “No sir, I saw the Honda in your window,” I said. “How much “Well son, I still haven’t given too much thought on a price. It’s is it?” a 1968 Honda CL77, they call them 305 scramblers I recently found out. A young man just back from Vietnam bought this motorcycle up in the Quad Cities, it was a leftover that never sold right away. Only got a few hundred miles on her … he brought it in here to me and I helped him trade up to a new boat and outboard motor. “They cost about $800 new, how about $500 cash?” Having not yet mastered the art of negotiation, I said “Sold!” Now I wondered how to explain this to Mom. (Dad would be no problem as he owned and operated the first Indian dealership in Iowa in the ’20s.) I spent the next few months getting to know my first love while I waited on my draft notice. The sound and smell of the exhaust were like a love potion to me (and still are today). My affection and lust for motorcycles just grew. Then came the greetings from the President. I spent the next two years as a military policeman in Vietnam.

(and still are today).

All the time, I dreamed of the day that I could get home and resume my passion for motorcycles. I wrote my parents every day; Mom even softened her stance on motorcycles, and stopped calling them “Murdercycles.” Dad’s motorcycle shop from the 1920s. I shared my career goals with Mom and she agreed to fund my 16 www.vjmc.org August 2011 schooling to become a certified motorcycle mechanic when I returned home. A few weeks later, Mom became terminally ill with cancer of the liver; I got home just in time to see her pass. My plans changed, as nothing seemed important anymore. I began what was to become a 35-year career in retail. But I never forgot my passion for VJMs. There were others besides the CL77. My first bike was a little Bridgestone 50 that I drove to middle school, and I was the first in Burlington to own a Kawasaki Triple. Throughout the years I bought, sold and traded more than 300 vintage Japanese bikes while raising a family and building my career. I mostly got my kicks out of bringing the vintage bikes back to life and getting them into the hands of other dream- ers. I thought many times about those times in Vietnam where I dreamed of owning my own motorcycle shop. A year and a half ago, I was laid off. With my bruised ego I contemplated my next step. My two sons’ who grew up watching me take nasty barn finds and turn them into jewels encouraged me to follow my dreams. “Come on Pop, you’ve wanted to have your own motorcycle business since we can remember. Let’s do this together.” That’s how JW’s Dream Machines was born, and my sons and I are having a great time finding and restoring VJMs. ●

Sound advice Jerry Wood made an announcement at the beginning of the auction urging everyone with a collection of more than a few bikes to be sure to organize keys and paperwork on each bike. J.Wood and the Harris family consumed hours locating keys and paperwork for this auction, and some titles never appeared before the time of the auction, negatively impacting a few prices. Good advice for all of us. ●

August 2011 www.vjmc.org 19 COVER STORY VJLA Annual Death Valley Run By Brendan Durrett

17th Annual VJLA Death Valley April 30 - May 1, 2011.

20 www.vjmc.org August 2011 ounded in 1993, the Vintage Japanese Los Angeles club sponsors local rides for folks that collect or appreciate older Japanese motorcycles. The main event on each year’s dance card is our Death Valley ride when we ride our bikes more than 450 miles in one weekend, from Lancaster, Calif., to Death Valley National Park. Our rides always include a wide variety of bikes. This year, we had everything from my 305 Dream, to an early Honda XL250, Yamaha SRX250, Honda CL175, two Honda CT90s, a Kawasaki 100 Bushmaster, two Hodaka 100s, a KLR650, a Honda Gold- wing, and even a Moto Guzzi Ambassador. Just in case, we had two chase trucks—but all the bikes made the whole trip. FSaturday started out with breakfast at legendary Crazy Otto’s Diner in Lancaster, which sports a railroad theme and huge por- tions of artery-clogging diner fare. After breakfast we started our trip riding north towards Mojave and east to Randsburg, a scenic, near ghost town in a remote desert area full of abandoned mines and cabins. Main street there still looks like a century ago. After a ride across desert hills with seemingly endless vistas, we arrived at Trona, a still-active mining town where they extract rare minerals from Searles Dry Lake. Trona has a distinctive machine age/industrial look to it due to the two huge, rusting ore processing plants. (It also has a distinctive odor.) Leaving Trona, we rode farther into the desert wilderness across the vast, hot Panamint Valley before climbing up into Wildrose Canyon and a welcome rest stop at remote Wildrose Spring. After letting the bikes cool off, we continued up over Emigrant Pass and down into

Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley, for a gas stop. Riding on from Stovepipe Wells we passed Mes- quite sand dunes and Devil’s Cornfield on our way up to Beatty, Nev., which is close to Death Valley but mer- cifully cooler thanks to its higher elevation. The town supplied local miners for generations, but now is mostly a watering hole for Death Valley tourists. Harley riders, four wheelers, dirt bikers, Europeans on holiday and all sorts of desert rats congregate there. Our sole mechanical mishap occurred as we reached Beatty. As Ken was making a U-turn, one of his handlebar bolts snapped off, rendering his Yamaha metric cruiser unsteerable. Fortunately, a local Mobile Mechanic right behind our motel had some leftover cylinder head bolts that happened to fit. We extracted the busted bolt using only simple hand tools, and Ken installed the new one and was good to go. Most years we camp out, but this year we changed things a bit and decided to motel it in Beatty and stayed at The Atomic Inn. The retro-themed motel features DV2011 patch. machine-age décor and vintage science fiction movies in the lobby every night.

Our first order of business Sunday was riding to Angels Ladies, the nearby brothel. Back in the early days of SoCal desert races, the winners would be awarded gift certificates to Angels Ladies! My how times have changed. We stopped there only to take group photos next to their crashed twin-engine Beechcraft airplane. On the way home our group split up. I stayed back with the tiddler riders. Heading homewards from Stove- pipe Wells there is a relentless 5,000-foot elevation climb from the floor of Death Valley to Towne Pass. Dennis’ CT90 and Bob’s Kawasaki Bushmaster both made it in style, which goes to prove how tough vintage Japanese tiddlers are. I am already looking forward to DV2012! If any of you are in the SoCal area the weekend after Easter 2012, look us up. ●

By Roger Smith Editor’s note: In the June issue of the magazine, Roger Smith detailed all the steps from finding this bike to detailing with the many problems that presented themselves. The pages included many full and detail shots of his finished bike by motorcycle author/ photographer Doug Mitchel. In part two here, the in-process shots he took along the way are presented for you. After the bike was supposedly 100-percent restored and as it was loaded into our trailer, we noticed missing bolts, including the pinch bolt holding the front axle secure.

Opening the oil pump side cover revealed a cracked protective cover. There was an NOS one on eBay.

At sometime in this cylinder head’s 40-year history, a melted piston, broken ring, etc., damaged its interior surface which we had to have resurfaced.

The cylinders and heads looked better than new once QC Coatings blasted the four decades of film off of them.

I asked the Kawasaki’s seller three times if he was sure the crankshaft had been rebuilt. He assured me it had been, but when Don looked at it after removing the cylinders, he did not agree. Once Don opened the cases, we found a crankshaft that was in terrible shape with main seals that felt like shredded wheat. Triple Crankshaft Specialties rebuilt the entire unit with all new bearings, upgraded seals and NOS connecting rods. August 2011 www.vjmc.org 29 RESTORATION

The carbs were loaded with crud; while Don chemically cleaned the parts, I hand-scrubbed the bowls that were filled with corrosion.

The completely rebuilt crankshaft re-installed.

Someone had replaced the wiring harness with a backyard special system that came in in just two colors for the entire bike, five blue and five red. That was it! A new correct harness was expensive, but had wires that matched those on the bike from Kawasaki.

Invaluable is the best word to describe having a licensed Kawasaki/Honda/Yamaha 40-year veteran mechanic nearby who is interested in working on vintage Japanese bikes. My friend Don Ross took on this job as a “tune-up” and ended up spending 9 months with me restoring it to like-new condition.
