n March 29, Arizona members of the VJMC participated in the 26th Annual Palm Sunday show put on by the Arizona OAntique and Classic Motorcycle Enthusiasts. This show is the premier antique motorcycle competition in Arizona. This is a judged show for stock-appearing bikes built prior to 1980. Since many members of the local VJMC group don’t meet those criteria, AACME is nice enough to allow a special area within the show for VJMC members to display their bikes. This year’s turnout was impressive. In the judged classes VJMC members took home many trophies. The competition for Best Japanese Bike was heavily contested by The best Japanese Bike award went to VJMC member Bill Bratt for Bart Iden’s 1966 Suzuki X-6 Hustler, which was every bit as perfect his 1966 Honda Scrambler.

The S&K Service 23rd Annual Swap Meet, billed as the longest and largest swap meet of it’s kind in Wisconsin, was held on May 1 near Weston, Wis., at the Central Wisconsin Auto Auction. Hun- dreds of enthusiasts turned out for the event on a beautiful, partly cloudy day where the temperatures hovered around 70 degrees. The event had many VJMC members in attendance as well as a strong showing from our friends in the VJMC Minnesota chapter. There was a steady stream of folks coming to the VJMC booth all day, including four new members that joined the club during the event – please welcome Wayne Richter, Bob Raddatz, Mike Wendt, and Robert Kluender. I later received an email from Jeff Lewis whom I met at the event and he informed me he would be joining as well! Quite a few other vintage motorcycle enthusiasts left with registration materials, so we may grow even larger as a result. I felt very fortunate to have met in person many of the Wis-

The only drawback sponsored by the Rib Mountain Rider’s Motorcycle club, a motor- cycle auction, and two food vendors. The bike auction started about 1 p.m. and ran for about 2 hours. There were many nice looking motorcycles inside to be purchased. In addition there were bikes on the grounds that were also for sale, and several VJMC members went away with less space in their garage than when they started. I heard of a couple folks that actually left with more than one!

20 www.vjmc.org June 2010 In 1995, I was looking at ads in the Sunday Detroit News for early Honda CL72 scramblers, when I ran across a classified ad Creating that said, “1963 Honda CL 72 250 Scrambler. Very rare, only a few hundred of these were made that year with a red frame. Also included is a very rare factory option non painted light aluminum alloy tank. Runs great!” That was the first time I became aware that the Honda factory had offered a light aluminum alloy gas tank for a unique their very early CL72 scrambler. In 2003, at the AMCA Wauseon, Ohio, vintage meet, I actually saw one of the unique tanks in person. It was at the end of the last day of the show and a fellow had the tank on a 1963 CL72 he was scrambler loading on his trailer. The tank was obviously different; though it was the same shape as the steel tank, the alloy was polished and the gas cap was very different. In fact, initially, I thought the bike owner had perhaps chrome-plated his tank due to the luster of the Finding and restoring a rare alloy. When I approached the bike’s owner, he proudly pointed to that tank as one of the original light alloy gas tanks Honda offered early Honda alloy tank back in 1962. By Roger Smith Over the next few years, more information about the elusive VJMC PR Director tanks’ existence surfaced, including details like this report: “The Honda Scrambler 250 CL72 (1962-1965) was similar to the CB72 Hawk 250. The headlight shell, frame, upper fork covers, fork legs, and shock covers were painted the basic color scheme of Blue with Silver, Scarlet Red with Silver, and Black with Silver. The fuel tank, side covers, and fenders were silver or polished alloy on the first few shipments. The gas tank had rubber knee pads and less than 125 aluminum alloy tanks were delivered to the U.S. from the Honda factory. Some arrived painted, in the familiar satin sil- ver while others were delivered in the raw aluminum alloy state. These alloy tanks were for racing purposes and had a ‘handmade appearance.’ ” In January 2009, I was able to purchase a very early CL72. While it had all the correct parts, including the small taillight lens, light

alloy fenders and a wiring harness that was stamped CL72 1962, it needed to be restored. As Matt Tate and I worked on completing the bike’s re-plating, painting and polishing needs, that rare alloy tank kept creeping into my mind. This bike would be nice looking with the stock grey tank … but it would be something special if I could just find one of those remaining factory alloy tanks for our restoration. Because of the downturn in our economy, many collectors are selling bikes and parts that they would never sell otherwise. That’s the reason I was finally able to locate a beautiful 1962 Honda CL72 alloy tank from a long-time collector who was selling some of his rarest treasurers. In his ad, the seller described the tank, “A rare very early Honda aluminum pop-top fuel tank for the CL72 CL77 250 305 Scrambler. It is used and in excellent condition. It doesn’t Ron Fournier examines the tank after it was stripped of paint. look like it was used very much, given its condition.

This alloy cap was also machined from The seller and I negotiated the price and a few days later, a large the light alloy and included machined tabs for the installation of box arrived on my front porch.

But we did not want to step up to more aggressive methods such as blasting or the use of more powerful chemicals, because we were dealing with ultralight aluminum alloy that could be damaged by harsh handling. After 12 hours of paint removal work, we were finally down to the black primer, but suddenly I noticed a light green color on the right front of the tank. Living in the Detroit area, working with cars and bikes for 50 years, I knew what that green substance was … body filler! This is not what we wanted to see in an expensive light tank.
