Beg pardon cappy, you may know more about sailing than me, but you
don't even come close when it comes to bikes.


I think not. I worked as a mechanic in a Suzuki shop for seven
years and then I worked as a Technical Advisor for U.S. Suzuki
Motor Corp for seven years. I taught carburetion in their
training center in Chicago and I taught electrical systems there
as well. I spent most of the time in the field helping mechanics
fix things they could not figure out. I'm good. Better than
you, I'm sure unless you can show similar qualifications.

A jap mechanic, eh?

me? no schooling or any trade time, just a room full of trophies.

What kind of racing did you do and when?
Anybody with a national AMA number is
somebody with coordination and skill.

Amateur racing was fun but too easy. I used to clean up.

I did MX, enduro, trials, hare scrambles, hare and hound,
flat track, drag racing and hill climbing. I'm perhaps the
only person ever to top the Widowmaker in SLC with a
90cc Hodaka. (Bored to 100cc and ported and polished
and carbureted to run like a 175cc machine).

Even got the US Army to sponsor my team.

National racing is another league altogether. It teaches
on the meaning of the phrase -"not quite good enough".

If you did own a Hodaka, what was the 'weak link' on that engine, the
one thing that broke most often?

Oh, almost forgot, I did do the Trans Am in Fla. in '75, got beat and
partied too much.

It was the shifter, specifically the ball receiver springs
that got "skronked" (smashed) and had to be replaced
to it would shift again.

There was a special tool to install the ball receiver kit.

I could take apart an Ace 90 down to the transmission
and reassemble it in less than 1/2 hour I was so familiar
with them.
