The seller of this bike (same guy with the nifty Triumph flat tracker from yesterday) acquired it from this father upon the latter’s death nearly a decade ago. His dad used to race it in SoCal in the 50s on hill climbs, hare scramblers, flat tracks, and more – plus at one point it was street legal, to boot.
If you want to learn more about the MSS, you should read this profile on Real Classic. But this bike (VIN: MSS 6964) is obviously quite stripped down from how it rolled off the dealership floor. The seller does not believe that the motor was modified, though he thinks the front wheel and handlebars have been changed. The carb is missing, the gas tank is ruined, and this bike has not run since the early 70s – it won’t be an easy project, but it should be saved!
