    Do you live in Riverside? Malcolm sure has a nice shop and often you can see him in the store just talking to the customers. If I am working in the area I will stop in just to look at all the trick stuff including the old bikes on display, Great to see one of them is yours.

    love that '81.

    Every Honda shop ive ever been in looked the same.

    But Husky shops each have their own soul.

    Malcolm needs my dakar bike in the collection. Thank for reminding me to call him.

    Great pics.

    I've been in that store a couple of times when I've been up in that area and I never realized he had a museum in there.:eek: Guess I'll have to make sure I see it next time I'm up that way.:)

    I'm close, I live in Moreno Valley just east of Riverside. After I left there I went to another friends private museum annual show and there was a lot more stuff than that and Malcolm even showed up there I have pictures of that too. Should I share?????? LOL......

    I remember when the first Clew Competition Machine showed up at the local MX track back in 1973. The shop that sold them had a very fast rider (forgot who he was) on it and not only did he win everything, but he was absolutely intimidating for spectators and racers alike, wheelying down the straights, crossing up over jumps, and the sound of the exhaust on the bike....:eek:

    Hi Stroker
    I'm suprised you kept that 430 that clean for all this time must have been used only on sundays.

    Does that CCM use the swing arm pivot to adjust the chain tension? Looks like snail adjusters on the pivot :eek:
