This is a ZB34 built by Dick Mann 1996. I showed him a photo of what I like, and he took an old rust bucket we had laying around and turned it into this work of art. The frame was built in 1951, and the 500cc single cylinder engine was first produced in 1952. It is barely street legal - in Minnesota, you just need a mirror, a horn, a headlight and one functioning brake hooked up to a brake light, so that's all the periphery we have on it. It thumps along beautifully, and the straight pipe makes its presence known to everyone around.
This was built for me in 1993 by Dick Mann specifically for competing in AHRMA trials. It is essentially the same design as the C15 my dad rode to numerous victories in the late '50s and early '60s.
This one I actually built under the meticulous supervision of Ron Winget.
