    I never met a motor I couldn't get to run; or get to run better than it was. I rode British bikes for most of my life (AMAL carbs, oh no!!!) have three XJs and my daughter has the aforementioned Chinese scooter. And guess what?

    I suspect ol' Rick was "baiting" you-know-who.

    Not baiting.

    Offering an alternative.

    As bad as the AMF Harleys were, their problems were inexpensive to fix. The current big twins eat compensators every 25k, and you can't fix those with a new set of gaskets.

    Also; I actually loved that Huffy. It went to the scrapper before I could snag it out of dad's garage :(

    My 26" from 4th grade thru high school was a Monkey Ward's store brand Huffy. I got my first stitches with that bike; it fared better than I.

    I struggle with mine from time to time. I am not a mechanic and I know that. I don't bitch about it. I figure it out. That is why sites like this one exist.

    The Huffy. That appeared over here as a "Dragstar" Came with either Shimano or Sturmey Archer gears. You were really someone if you had one! :)
