Back in 84 I traded a boat for a 1982, 4K miles 1100EZ. Kid tipped it over and realized he'd bought way too much bike for him. I rode it out to the local stock car races and as I was parking it a fellow came up to me and asked me if I'd be interested in buying his, same thing. It only had 400 miles on it and he wanted 2500, I think the new price was touching 4000. He said he rode all thru the 50's and middle 60's, and rode the big Harleys because they were the big dogs and his were always hopped up to be the fastest. Life, a wife, and kids killed off the bikes for almost 2 decades. Kids about done, he wanted back in. So he went to Cycle Specialty in Burlington, Iowa (don't think they are still around) and told them he wanted the baddest thing they had, as he always was used to being at the top of the game. So they sold him an 82 1100EZ, he didn't even think he needed a test ride. The 1st time he hit the gas real hard it scared the sh*t out of him. He had no idea things had changed so much in 20 years. 120MPH was a target, not something to see in the 1/4. He never rode it. The 400 miles were put on by his BIL during visits. Man, I wished I'd had the dough. I told him to just take it easy for awhile and get used to it, but he wasn't game.
