I am pumped!!! I had a Taco 44 when I was 12 and rode it to death. Repowered it with a 5hp B&S when the 3hp went south (soon after I figured out how to remove the air vane govenor). I graduated to a Bonanza Hodaka powered death machine, keeping the 44. As always, the 44 and Bonanza went off to someone else as I graduated to "real" motorcycles. This weekend I go to pick up a pool table for my daughter. The little fella was sitting in a dark corner of the garage, neglected. I asked the lady about it and she said take it. I figure I can fix it up for the grandson. I was elated to find it was a 44 or 100, not sure just yet, but it is a Taco. I found this site and knew I had this project dialed in. It will sit proudley next to my 1980 XS1100 and my 75 W200 Dodge, both of which I bought new (I like to hang onto things).
The seats missing, engine has 'bout 9 lbs of compression, nuthin I can't tackle. And yes, it will be painted purple. I was glad to find this site and find a bunch of people who don't act there age either.:drinkup:
