Nice tale, Shame we lose touch with our mates from back then.
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

That was great fun, and agree that its sad to lose touch. I wonder where my old pal 'Mad Billy' is now, him with the KH400 in 1976 who, wheelying away from the bus stop that hot summer was the spark thats still with me:...'just GOT to have a two stroke triple!!' said my heart.
A lot like this one....but having read up about the Satanic rituals that were apparently obligatory for Kawa riders, decided on a nice Suzuki instead :-))
