Let's say you win a gigantic windfall...

I can't believe none of you jokers has gone the obvious route... 2 girls at one time. Because if I had half a billion dollars, I think I could hook that up.

Bah! I did that when I was a piss poor college student.... more than once.

Only two ?

Only two ?

I can hardly handle one! Two was a stretch!

XR-750

ah hah, my brother from another mother!

Just in case you don't know the full awesomeness of that motorcycle it made about 85 -90 bhp but weighs about as much as a dirt bike. Which isn't any great shakes in the world of Jap crap but it's useful horsepower. You can do something with that kind of power to weight ratio.

I've got a ZZR-1100 which I might build up one day, it's got about 150 bhp but it'll always be a fat ugly Jap bike. I'm not sure why I bought it.



I want a Shovelhead engined chopper in a '47 Knuckle frame like I used to have, and an XR. Give me an XR and I'll own the world, or die trying

Big flattrack fan here back in the 70's. XR750 ruled.

I had a huge Jay Springsteen poster in my boyhood bedroom!

[rightisright]

And I vividly remember a late 80's motocross magazine article where Jay Springsteen taught Rick Johnson (the premier motocrosser of the day. From the El Cajon Zone, no less) how to flat track.

"No, no no! Butt farther forward on the seat! And stop picking up your boot toe. There are no rocks in flat-track"

I'd love to see that interaction with Johnson (sitting practically within a stones throw of his El Cajon home).

I probably remember that exact Springer poster.

Mert Lawwell (sp?) ("On Any Sunday") and that generation of riders are still my heroes. Dirt tracks, steel shoes and iron men.
