iknow they are fuckin ugly but the show only increased my desire for a Y2K love that turbine sound not to mention the smell of burnt kero

Not to mention what it could do to boi-racer bumpers if they got too close

Crumply melted fibreglass anyone? The exhaust temperature was something horrendous - 600 degrees !!!

I think they were bang on with number 1. The honda cub is a legend bike, they are found on every part of the globe, have crossed more rough and inhospitable places than any other bike, Been affordable and reliable transport for millions and did wonders for the image of bikes and bike riders in the western world. Not to mention there longevity. How many farmers in NZ had honda cub/ct 90/ct110 over the years? Posties?

I would have thought some of the german BMW's that helped take over half the world and then copied by the russians for 60 years might have featured

Honda cub... hmm... those were the days...

**The Tazman** · 23rd October 2006, 21:11

I managed to miss it. I didn't even know it was on as I spent most of the weekend at work. 15 1/2 hours on Friday and 16 3/4 hours on Saturday!!! followed by 11 hours on the Sunday although that was on the other side of the bar

So if anyone recorded it and wouldn't mind be borrowing the tape/dvd I would very much appreciate it if you'd let me know.

Kindest regards

Taz
