Yep....those are keepers! Just gotta' know not to call one by the others name.

Steve Marriott(RIP) or James Dewar(RIP)

Let us not forget FOCUS and SWEET SMOKE

Have you ridden one yet? I rode one of my comrades' H2 and couldn't find what the fuss it all about. I would rather own a KLR650 for 1/3 the price and and not have to support BMW and their pricey parts.

DeBenguzzi spake- Nirvana kicked ass,yes they did, but the best part of "Unplugged" was Kurt & Chris' of the Meat Puppets backing up Kurt Cobain,a la "Sea of Fire". Getting/being old is a bitch but you can get a better perspective on most things,such as music with more appreciation for the truly innovative when you've got a larger framework to deal with. I'm on the same page with Jihem, now this cat really knows his music . And yes,Jihem,i'm in total agreement with you on Todd Rundgren,he is/was a "wizard,a true star". Caught him a few times in the 70's during the "Utopia" era. His drummer,Hunt Sales,was a neighbor of mine until he recently moved to Nashville

jihem said At the same time,in the next door studios @ EMI,Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd were recording Pipers at the Gates of Dawn. Sgt. Peppers pales in comparison IMHO Hats off to 1967....Summer of Love

This shot of the guzzi "lump" is poor. Perhaps you should solicit more photographs to add to your repertoire.

Ya' gotta love the Atlanta police dept. Back in the '70s I was riding down Spring St.(the wrong way)and a cop pulled me over...no ticket. A few years later I was at the dentist and for some reason the local anesthetic would not take hold. The dentist kept jacking my jaw up with anesthetic(5 shots) until I finally went numb...real numb! After I was out of the chair and driving home a cop pulls me over for what, I can't remember, but I almost went to jail for DUI 'cause I was slurring my speech. Fortunately, my girlfriend was w/me and could explain wuzzup' and the cops had a good laugh and let me go. I love the Atlanta cops, at least did back then, and I'm not partial to cops!

Anybody on this board going to the Northwest 200 this May?

Sad fact is the rest of the civilized world has a right to be appalled at our actions,most here are too! Helplessness is a horrible feeling. Just goes to show you ya' can't trust your goverment.

Yes Paul,that would have been the aforementioned Daytona 1999 Bears victory...here's a photo of that bike at rest after the victory...the girl on the left was Lex's girlfriend.

Quote from Jaap "What an absolute brilliant documentary! Britten's passion and perseverance are amazing. And the sound of the V1000... that alone is worth buying it." Yes,but Jaap...have you ever witnessed the beast in it's element? I watched(in amazement)the Britten team w/Andrew Stroud astride, annihilate the competetion of Battle of the Twins @ Daytona in '95 and the same happened in '99 with Lex riding the Team New Zealand Britten. To be in the "hot pits" with the Britten was an honor in itself,still rumbling restlessly deep in my memory banks.

Nice...like they say...keeps everyone honest.

This is beautiful Ouiji....Just because it looks like a duck,quacks like a duck,flies like a duck(temporarily) that doesn't make it a duck. Just because Ural/Dnepr/Cossack/Chinese fascimile has opposed cylinder like a BMW airhead, well, the similarities stop there. Great reading though. The guys either a loon or a glutton for punishment!
