Not thread related, but since it was already mentioned! The Kawasaki Mach III was a wild machine! My one and only thrilling ride on a one was on White Sands Missile Range/Holloman AFB, NM, in about 1970. There are miles of smooth paved roads, and the one I turned onto ran to the back gate at the east boundary of White Sands Missile Range. I still smile when I remember that ride, as the front wheel was held off the pavement through most of the gears, and when I last glanced down at the speedometer it was just passing through 100 mph (in what seemed like seconds) and was still climbing! I chickened out at that point, as I'd never gone that fast on a motorcycle before! I still smile fondly when I remember the horrendous acceleration, and screaming sound of that engine going through the gears!
