Post by: Tom on July 10, 2007, 09:40:11 PM
it's a defunct German motorcycle.   I became aware of them in 1963 when I was allowed to ride one that a friend of mine raced in TT Scrambles.  It was a single with a definite unique sound. :)

Welcome, Zundapp.  Just where in NE Washington State would you be...approximately?  Close to Idaho?  Close to Canada?  Both?  What is the terrain like?  What brings you to this forum?  Sit a spell and tell us a bit about yourself.
Gots a camera?

Congratulations! This is only the second time I've come across someone who knows what a Zundapp is! Your right on the mark.

I've worked in the timber industry for 30 some odd years.  (started, cutting pulp & posts when I was 16). Since then I've logged up & down the N.E. side of Wa. state. ( & parts of Idaho). Right now, I'm working in a lumber mill & tree farming our 30 acres.

Thats three!

Near Colville. 70 mi. north of Spokane, 40 mi. south of BC, 40 mi. east of Idaho. The terrain runs heavy to mountains & valleys. Came across the forum doing a google search. I'll have questions, no doubt, about managing our wood lot, & it just looked like a good place to "hang out". Oh yes, My wife has a camara, & I think she,ll let me use it :-\

If you're in the timber business, some years are bound to be odd.   ;)  Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Zundapp !! My daughter and 2 redheaded grandkids live in the wet end of your state in Hansville.....Her x grew up in Tonasket and Wenatchee so I know about the dry end too......You can figure that anyone that knows about Zundapp bikes is at least as old as Tom.
I've got a few years on him........Try out BSA or Norton on some of these kids....Husqvarna
also ran bikes in Europe races years ago........There is a great deal of info and knowledge on this site.  Have fun !!

A funny thing about those Zundapps. If you advanced the timing too far, they would run backwards. I've been told, that it wasn't an uncommon sight, at the starting line, on a dead start, to see someone who did a little to much fine tuning before the race, when the flag dropped & the rest of the line would surge forward,  the poor devil on the Zundapp, with the R.P.M.'s up at redline, would dump the clutch, then do a summersault over the handle bars, as the bike lurched backwards. :o

Ain't that the truth, except, more years seem to be odd than not.

Hi James

You really are a neighbor. Played sports against you all back in the 70's. I went to Selkirk high school. The Republic Tigers were always a tuff bunch. Been some mighty good teams come out of there over the years. Same goes for your close neighbor to the north, Curlew. State basketball Champs, 1972 I believe. Say, is 'ol Gopher still driving log truck over that way.He was on that team. I spent the summer of '94 over there contract falling on the Copper butte fire.

Welome to the area! My wife is from Renton. She moved over here in '83 for the same reason. If you like 'less people', Ferry County is the place to be.
