While watching Disk #2 of specal features, included with the "East of Eden" DVD, I saw this bike from the mid 1950's. At first I though it was a Honda, but didn't early Hondas have a step-through frames ? The motor is a twin with fins on the heads, like a 2-stroke. Any ideals what it is ?

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Man, Dwight...that's impressive...deep drilling into the ether for a dfinitive answer.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

You're welcome gentleman. (but then again, what's the chances that a guy who's avatar is a pic of Mr. Dean's 550 Spyder(though a clone it is) would know about this kind o' stuff, huh?)

Don't know much about their motorcycles, but I do know a lot of people swear by their pistols. Apparently quite accurate.
