I think you have to be a Mercan for that.But.....

16. You dreamt of manhandling a Maico 501 - Still reckon I could subdue one...

61. You thought the Husky chrome tanks were extremely sexy - and I've got one under my bench.

73. You knew who "Super Hunky" was. - like,who didn't.

94. You always wanted to put a 44mm Mikuni carburetor on something. Anything - I hate those twin carbs on the XT,I reckon a 44mm Mikuni should sort it.

I have heard of some fitting EX250 ninja carbs to the XT's still twin carbs but 2 the same. Apparently gives a significant power increase.

Rick Sieman was into two camps back then....so was I - I rode dirt bikes and had a chopper - Rick Sieman was editor of Dirt Bike and Chopper magazines,so I had a double dose of him.I remember when they entered a Triumph Chop in the Baja,Super Hunky at the controls.

I remember when I first rode a monoshock - nofunkinwayman!
