Shortly after getting married my wife and I rode my 76 “AMF” XLCH out to Iowa and back. A close to a 1000 mile ride overall in 90 degree weather. The only saving grace was we couldn’t go over 100 miles without a gas stop. After going out she was not looking forward to the ride back. What can I say...we were much younger. I think that pretty much killed any desire she had of ever being on the back of any motorcycle again. I’m not surprised she doesn’t like to ride.

Wife prefers the Harley over the Rocket. Short rides not long ones.

The "C" was suppose to stand for California models. California dealers agreed to buy so many if produced. They were thinking of round track racing. Shifted on the right, brakes on left. Round trackers don't use the brake much. Mine was a kicker. Hence, the right knee replacementShortly after getting married my wife and I rode my 76 “AMF” XLCH out to Iowa and back.

Interesting..all the XLCH models were kick start as I recall. That was the designation with I believe for kick vs the XLH being electric start. That was a long time ago....

I read it somewhere, mine was a kicker. Thought that the 76 was electric. Broke my knee because of a cracked kicker, not a timing issue, just saying.

My 75 XLCH was electric only. I wish it had a kick. Can't tell you how many times I push started her.
