Owen P, proud owner of a sweet red Roadmaster Scorcher has added another very deserving member to his stable. This is his clean 1976 Centurion Super LeMans.
1976 Centurion Super LeMans
After riding around on the Roadmaster for a while, I decided it was time for a better (and lighter) bike. I found this great looking Centurion on CL for less than $75, and decided it would be my next bike. It was solid when I got it, just dirty and needing some care. Interestingly, there were extra spokes electrical taped to the frame, which came in handy when one broke on the test ride. Now it’s running great and I really like riding it. Even the (slightly dry-rotted) tires hold air!
