Well, my bad hydraulic clutch meant I missed getting the Mongrel to Tobermory for the second year.  However, after a long session of bleeding it, the clutch is back and we fixed the carb enricheners with a little adjustment as well. We're back in business, better than ever. Starts 2nd or 3rd kick and shifts easily once again. Gonna ride it this weekend, stock up on oil and be totally ready for Paris!!  Yes... I really do own a Kawi 2 stroke Triple. |

For a young guy Walms you think a lot like us old farts. When they came out with that CB360t it was like another insult to bikes even after the CB350's. and uggggly. I remember guys in school insisting that they were just as fast as the Kawi's. Jump up 20 years and Honda has some CB200 event at the Superbike race weekend. Oh no I said. Here we go again. We stuck one on the dyno and I think it pulled a wapping 15hp. Now I must admit I did like the early Honda CB 4 s cylinder bikes even though they weren't too powerful. I had to get out of bike when Honda introduced those wheels in the 80's with the rivets. Spokes looked better! My Honda rant for the day. (Drew - your the one who brought up Honda's - trying to get me goin eh?) |

i grew up with a 305 Super Hawk. The one that roadrash showed up on 2 years ago at Donny's. blew the doors off CB 350's and 360's. Hate to bring it up but I had 4 friends with X6's. Blew them away too. Even in first and while they were shifting 3 times my long 2nd gear left them with ringing ears from the megaphones.
ahh, to be young again...... Actually, even middle-aged wouldn't be too bad...
