Does it really matter..............?

I had both a 441 victor with the cool yellow and chrome tank and its
little brother a 250 Starfire street bike with a cute sky blue tank. I
ended up with 20+ stiches in my left leg where the compression relsease
lever was shoved to the bone as I went down on the 441. Oh, I forgot
about the little Tr 200 Cub. That was fun too.
Always wanted a 500 Manx. But...........

But the most enjoyable was my 850 Norton Interstate. I put over 90K
miles on that one with out any problems. Well I did get a valve job at
60K. Oh, and they were not 850cc.................. if I remember right
it was 823cc displacement. Now for another point to argue: my Norton
was a BSA. Now how can that be????

Nice bike. I miss it.

So stop ****ing on each other and do what knowledable bikers
do.........go for a ride.

Not really........... my friend with his 250 Harley Davidson would blow
me away.
But I did rally like the bule tank. it was even fiberglass!

Not sure about that. I always though that water was much more forgiving
than asphalt.
On the other hand, I could always get off my bike and walk home. Can't
do that offshore!

Depends on how fast you hit the water as to how forgiving it is Bob.
