This bike belongs to Bob Fornwalt (Yankee 
Bob), his trailer queen as he calls it. 

Some of the wording for these pictures 
is Bob's, some is mine, whatever 
seems to get the job done best!

A bit of trivia for you Z lover's - note that it is 
sitting on two wooden blocks for the photos. 
That's because if everything on the bike 
is correct, the side stand was too long, and 
the bike was/is very "tippy." Yes, from the 
factory. Another slight oversight.  ;^) 
 

This pic of the Yankee engine with the 
velocity stacks and short head pipes is 
straight from the original sales brochure. 

This Yankee belongs to Cody Tellus, 
very nice restoration! 

Cody is in sunny California, check out his 
awesome web site: www.bultacowest.com
 

These 4 Yankee's belong to Brad Powell, from 
Marietta, GA.  He may have even more now.

Check out another one of Brad's bikes, his Street 
Tracker. The chromed frame, black paint, and 
polished aluminum make this a sharp looking bike. 
Brad's web site is here: www.bradsbikes.net

Another shot of one of Brad's bikes.

And, another shot of one of Brad's, bikes!

Dick Mann autographs one of Brad's bikes, 
possibly at Vinatge Days West.

Trent Taylors tricked out street Yankee.

#912 belongs to Dave Gunn, who took a 
Silver medal in the '03 ISDT/RR. 

Paul Milliken (#911) also rode a Yankee, and 
took a Bronze medal for his trophy.

This sharp looking bike is owned by Yankee Bob, one 
of three Yankees to participate in the '03 ISDT/RR.

In the '03 ISDT/RR, Bob's bike hit a boulder 
while fording a stream, tearing off the left peg 
and shifter, and locking the bike in first gear. 
Out of competition for the day.

Ossa built a street version of the Yankee,
only a few were ever imported into the US.

They only came in silver from the factory,
but people have repainted them in lots
of different colors.
