Just for Horvath. (GT380 photos)
 

Since Horvath doesn't believe I have a Suzuki GT380 and seems to
think those ugly, shaking, oil-dripping, parts-shedding Harleys are
something to brag about, I figured I'd take and post some pictures
of a motorcycle to be proud of.

Thats a super clean bike for its age.

Back in the early 80's I had a Yahama RD350 it could smoke any big bike
on the road in the quarter mile.

I suggest you put down bars on it and if you can find one a 1/4 faring.
Nothing like a nice cafe racer.

Joe

All it proves is that you took some pictures. And, I had a KZ 350 two-stroke
and it never smoked from the pipes.

Nice bike!! ...

for a beginner.

I dis'ed no American bike.

I was talking about top 1/4 mile speeds.
And nothing can beat the old jap 2 strokes. Keep in mind they top out
at a 1/4 mile.

I like Harleys, Buells, and Excelsior Henderson's.

If I wanted a bike now, Id most likely buy a BMW Triple speed.

Stock bike for stock bike, the Yamaha RD 350's were untouchable
because they were powerful and LIGHT. My GT380 was no match
because it was quite a bit heavier. When I got done souping it up,
though, it could beat stock RD 350's all day long.

Tell you what, though. Put some 32mm Mikunis and a nice pair
of chromed expansion chambers and screw the right jets into
those monster carbs and even a Kawasaki 500 triple couldn't
touch an RD350 in the quarter.

I'm old now and don't like that bent down position of a
cafe racer. I do have a nice, matching, silver WindjammerSS
with lowers for long-distance touring. It looks great in
cruising mode. Been all over the country with it.

"Trains are a winter sport"

There are several biker rallies coming down to Key West
all year round. I rarely see a Japanese or European
bike on a trailer. They are ridden because they are
comfortable and reliable.

I do see many Harleys hauled down on trailers so
they can be unloaded in Key West and ridden there.
Pathetic that Harleys are so unreliable that they
cannot be trusted to arrive on their own wheels.

Even more pathetic that some Harley owners ride
around Key West acting like studs when their iron
is tailored in. Pahteuy!

That's a friend's place. No trailers allowed in that neighborhood.
It's a resort that charges over 200 bucks a night for one of those

I can't believe you're so proud of a 30 year old mediocre bike. I'm
more impressed by the singe-wide trailer and the yugo. I figgered you
lived in a cardboard box.
