Two stroke Deals Gap

[eastema]

I was watching a vid on Deals Gap two stroke gathering and I think someone from this forum was in vid. An old mostly blue/green Plymouth Belvedere was in the parking lot. A woman sitting on the hood, and I think the owner was being interviewed about his 2 strokes. Pretty sure I saw that car in this forum one day. Anyway, good vid on old 2 strokes.

Wow, small world. I had a gt380 way back then an h2 kawi. I do miss the 2 strokes, but I have no more space. Just counted 10 motorcycles in my garage as I was making space to put the snow removal tractor. The 380 was such a smooth and powerful little bike.

Wow, Fontana dam, me and a buddy camped at the base of that one year when we were riding in the area. I haven't heard the name since, til now. As I remember there was some good history there providing power for aluminum production for the war effort. I love that area of our country.
