    That was very interesting. Two strokes considered harmful -- even in the eighties

    I, too, would like 60hp in a 142kg frame. Lets get to work, GiJoe1313!

    These were FUN bikes with an exciting edge, big bro 500 was the bizz and the Suzuki RG500 was the and the Honda NS400 was the surgen's scalpel for handling

    Not exactly - a few bits. I collect bits as I find them then attempt to make a bike. As for the tests - OK. I'll collect anything these days

    laffing gawd that cracked me up reading that .. excellent .. & most of the stuff they say is soooo on the button ..

    Betsy was wallowing when going over bumps .. Dogs tightened the rear shock today & wow nice & hard .. LOL now definately does not wallow ..

    I have stuffed up going around a few corners & either backing off speed or occassionally grabbing a handful of brake & she responds no hint of mis behaviour ..

    I definately get off her knowing that I have ridden a bike & totally smiling my ass off .. she is definately a chain smoking hussy .. but a whole heap of fun while ya riding her ..

    again cheers for that Bill .. You rock ..

    Glad you enjoyed the read, it's always worthwhile knowing all those extra wee bits about one's bike

    A mate had one years ago whilst myself & the others I rode with were in the litre brigade and we'd swap around every now & then and hopping onto the RZ was always a hoot everyone always got off it smiling like a Cheshire cat

    Yeah I'll knock-off another copy for you, it's no problem.

    The sizing will effect copies as the original scans are 2.5mb for each page, so to post them here I have to reduce them to large document size which under 1/3 of the original.
