Dear Santa,
I know that it's early for a request, but sure would like one of these.
(RZ 350) $3800

Made me think of the fast things that I have had an incredible amount of fun with, and survived.
It all started with a '68 Suz X6 Hustler. (250cc 6 speed that surprised a lot of Corvettes) .
Led on to a Kaw H2,(750cc 3 cylinder with jetting and chambers and would Not go around corners very well at speed...referred to as, The Hinge, because of tank slapping)...when was a young paratrooper hanging out down around Ft. Bragg... and was simply, stink fast, if one had it pointed in the right direction.
To this day, I enjoy the sound of a multi cylinder 2 stroke that sounds...angry.
Kaw Z1 that was black that had an open header when was going to UofL (University of Louisville)...wore jungle boots and jeans and black t shirt and had many dates.
Suz 87 GSXR 1100 with high end flat side carbs and race pipe bought new.
Some fast women.
BMW K100 that I don't ride like I used to, but surely test it and myself some.
What a wonderful piece of gear it is! Good therapy. Good for the head.
Would not be, without the kind help of the folks on this forum.
Thanks.
JimK...and happy Independence day, July 4th....getting loud down around this little river town with some serious fireworks and have to leave now to go provide adult supervision...tongue in cheek.
