Don't get me going on Kawasaki, I was a dealer for 5 years in the '70s. I still have a softspot in my heart for them, but my last bike was a Honda CBR929RR, so I guess I'm not too brand loyal, as I've stated about these R/C engines. I've been accused of being brand-blind with the Taurus, but it just isn't true, I buy what I think is the best at the time for the application I need it for.

My first bike was a Hodaka 90 in 1965. I think it was one of the first years it came out. It kicked everyone's rear in that class at the time. I loved the big chrome tank. I wish I had a restored one right now.

Now that wasn't off topic was it.
