Testing an igniter

[Guest]

if you're serious-can't hear that interior accent to tell! )Well gee-don't you ever get tired of people that come up and ask "What is it?"

Now, my millenial Ninja- that's different. I'm gonna rip that flashy stick-on label crap right offa there! (or not...unless it peels off itself anyways...)

Hey, I have the tank badges plus the sidecover script with 400 on it and people still ask me what 'size' it is. What year is a valid question, and they always seem amazed that it isn't older than '82. Wire spokes, chrome, and a tank that isn't 'styled' will do that. '83 Ts had a 17/19 wire wheel combo w/ a drum front brake [!!] that was pretty retro and then they put a kooky stepped seat on it and wondered why it didn't sell. The market was broken and confused in the '80s.

I'm trying to remember the movie that the quote came from. Magnificent Seven??

Blazing Saddles more likely? (now you bring it up, I think I'll watch it again!)

....Here, 90% of the time it's "What Year is it?" but there's a knowledegable bunch hereabouts and are just starting a conversation... I've met several nice people that had the bikes back in the day and even a Previous Owner... and generally. people do like to just visit a parked bike that hasn't been changed much . I know I do, anyways.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre. A 1948 cinematic symphony on the folly of greed. A donkey oatey with Bogart and Houston.

Now back to our usual electrical programming....
