Just about everyone knows at least one person with a Honda 750.

They say it eliminates ma intenance troubles, altitude problems when going off big jumps, increases midrange and improves cruising-speed torque with no loss of low speed power. If you don't have $179.50 lying around to treat your 750 Four owning friend this Christmas, how about taking his bike out for a drink, at least? It'll tickle his Honda's forks to get a good gulp of Lubri-Tech ATF Fork Oil, just what the committee back horne ordered. One 16 ounce can will set you back 99 cents, from Lubri-Tech Products, 7106 Barry Ave., Rosem.ont, III. 60018. Is your girlfriend pressuring you to give up bikes? Instead of .. calling her a Christmas turkey, give her a Hop Rod Power Pogo Stick.

Makes a fine battering ram or riot stick, too. Only $73.95 postpaid from Auto World, Department Rod-It-To-Her, 701 N. Keyser Ave., Scranton, PA 18508. If your lady love hurts herself Christmas morn while testing out her new toy, send her a' Rider Card to wish her a speedy recovery.

There's even a boy/girl love card, and all feature first class beautifol color. Local shops can get a display from Rider .~ .... III t Card Company, 1006 W. Hillcrest Blvd., Inglewood, CA 90301. Speaking of sweet young things and Christmas, how about this fine Mars Electra battery-powered contraption? It will glide past noiselessly and emission free at 16 MPH flat out, and will top a 10 percent grade. Of course, you better stay out Qf San Francisco where the Electra comes from, but you can get one for use in flatter areas from 130 Drake Ave., South San Francisco, CA 94080. Who knows, perhaps this will soon be touted as the ultimate solution to motorcycle safety in the decades to come. • • • ,Use This Special Cycle News West Holiday Issue ffGreeting Ad" offer.
