Thanks David. I agree that it is unusual to find one this clean and I wish that I knew the history. If I had a time machine I can only imagine some of the bikes that'd be in my collection. I just knew that it differed considerably from most all of the other Hercules I'd seen. Of course, there are simply not that many around here these days, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. I wish there was more information about these so I could get a better fix on the age of the machine.
