Anyone ever own a.... Zundapp?

I owned a Knock off Zundapp, made by another defunct company. Condor was a Swiss company that made bikes for the Swiss army. I had an A580 for quite some time.

Damn only 5/10.


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Went to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa yesterday, didn't see any Hodaka or NSU motorcycles.

The very early American motorcycles overrestored like jewelry are amazing, but they are so perfectly made in an exaggerated custom style, that it just makes me wonder what they really looked like when they were new. There was at least five of them done up like that.

Was kind of surprised that it seemed like so many early US motorcycle makers were located in the midwest, you would think the east would be where manufacturing would occur. It was easy to see where they were made since many had the city on the tank along with the brand name.
