Re: MEMORY LANE
There's only so many hours in a day and the roads were twisty needing good brakes & handling.
Not really the J model hippos raison d'etre.
Of course, my 550 kept up fine as it's first outing since about 1975!

Re: MEMORY LANE
Did you notice the two stroke riders " clutch hand "
Nearly everyone has their hand over the clutch lever, just in case ??
Yet, in over 40+ years riding them, never had one seize up on me.
Also, note the male pedestrian @ 1.30 secs, head swivel

Re: MEMORY LANE
I commented on the collective clutch hands back then as it quite amused me that some claimed not to do it!
