It's more like a chrome-plated chainsaw with wheels. Nice for zipping
around town, but I wouldn't take it out on an interstate highway. It's
in very nice shape though. 28,403 miles? What happened to the original
exhaust headers? You know, the bluish purple ones.

You're looking at the originals. It's a two-stroke and the headers
don't get hot enough to turn blue. Besides, I ported, polished and
re-jetted so it burns clean and fast. It's got 29,000 miles on it now.
Original. It's just now getting really broken-in.

Anybody who rides bikes on the Interstate is rather dumb. Winding
roads is what a bike is for or blasting around town.

Give Jax some credit. He had a girlfriend he broke up with and she took
revenge on him but posting personal pics on a bogus website. You're so
stupid that you believed it.

And, yes, I've spent many a pleasant day off soundings in all sorts of
conditions including storms in my fine. blue water Coronado 27. She
has positive floatation and three waterproof bulkheads. Better
than you might imagine and far safer than boats two, three, four
times her size. Puts your boat, if you have one, to shame!

My best friend had that model in high school back in the 70's. I had a KZ
400 and we rode everywhere and crashed often as well. When that 380 hit the
power band he would leave me in a cloud of blue oil smoke and it would take
forever to catch up. I always wondered how the three cylinder 750 was.

Had a friend back in the 70's who souped up a GT-750 water buffalo.
Name was Craig Batterschell. I did the original porting, polishing
and tuning. K&N air filters with three 32mm Mikunis, expansion chambers,
nitrous and eventually a turbo/nitrous.

You were doing good if you could hold on. It felt like your hands were
being ripped off the grips. What a wild ride. He did the quarter mile
in the mid-nines.

I had a 84 Sportster that I had for about 30,000 miles before I injured my
back doing some weight lifting. It was a sad day when I sold her. A couple
of years later I happened to buy a KZ-1000 LTD from the early 80's. I
truthfully thought the Harley was better constructed but I really liked the
double plus horsepower from the KZ. I guess I could compare it to my last
boat. I had a CT-41. Great for the ocean, sitting on the deck with the
radio on, auto pilot steering, drinking coffee, and looking for traffic. I
would acquaint that with the Harley. I raced on a hot J-105 on the San
Francisco Bay. That was a fast boat easily handled and a great time but I
would not want to spend more then a weekend sailing her.

On the farm lived a chicken and a horse,
both of whom loved to play together.
One day the two were playing, when
the horse fell into a bog and began to sink.
Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for
the chicken to go get the farmer for help!
Off the chicken ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the
farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but
to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor.
Running around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Harley.
Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with a
length of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend's life.
Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see
the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to
get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him.
After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's
bike, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with
the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse!
Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the
farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.
The friendship between the two animals
was cemented: Best Buddies, Best Pals.
A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon,
he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life!
The horse thought a moment, walked over,
and straddled the large puddle.
Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his
hangy-down thing and he would then lift him out of the pit.
The chicken got a good grip, and the horse
pulled him up and out, saving his life.
The moral of the story? ....... (yep, you betcha, there IS a moral!)

LOL. I suppose if you have nothing else to give her, Neal, the buzz of that
ridiculous POS you own is better than nothing. Then again, most women have
more than a passing appreciation for the throb of a big twin between their
