I wish the site would elaborate more on why, it was an hour long show.

My first bike was #3!! Wow I knew I liked the beast but I didnt think that she was one of the top 3 in the world??

Too bad I sold her. Her top speed was somewhere around 70mph (and that was gunning it in 5th down hill with the wind to my back). I miss the ol girl.

I saw that as a video clip on the net...a smaller version.....it was a riot! Hell it not only started...but if the wheel wasn't bent it would rode away. what about draining the oil...and putting cooking oil in it? That was fun to watch!

and overloading it by about 2X the maximium weight allowance, and it still went.
