        Re last week's meeting:

        That H2 Mach IV (Kaw 750) is a MAN'S bike. It could use a few 'safety' meetings!

        I like those three teen boys hovering in the distance. Remember when we were them?
        1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

        2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

            I remember looking at a new 750 Kaw that colour at the dealers when I was young. I just couldn't afford to buy it then, probably a good thing.

              My buddy paid close to $20,000 for this one a couple of months age. He just retired as a chief engineer at BC Ferries and I guess he decided to give himself a retirement gift.

                Yes. You could've been walking 'the streets of glory' right now if you had.

                It's near impossible to impress on today's youngsters what an over powered beastie that Mach IV was in 1972. And Kawasaki was just getting started...

                  I can't remember the price back then, Under $2k CDN I think. I was leaving smoke trails with my little GT250 at the time, I can't remember if I paid $650 or $850 for it brandy new, I think it was $850.

                    Brother in law in Nelson bought one new back then. Rode it a bit, sold it and has never been on a motorcycle since. That did it for him. I think he bought a 340 Dart after that.

                          I noticed the track decals on the VW Scirocco, but the Ridge decal is backwards & I see Laguna Seca next to it, but don't recognize the other tracks.

                          Back in 1986 my roommate & I drove a VW Dasher to Sunshine Village Alberta full of Sims Hi-bak snowboard bindings for the North American Snowboard Championship.

                            VW Dasher!!! Had one too. Man I hated that car. Couple of years after I gave to somebody I was doing some IT work down in our industrial park and watch a car crusher have it's way with it. That was a great day. LOL.

                              Ha! Regardless it got us into the Canadian Provinces & we got to drink Molson & Labatts, before Micro brews showed up.
                              Don't really drink beer anymore, but the higher octane at the time was special. What was the hate all about?

                                Mostly flaky wiring and melted contacts in the fuse panel. It was a bit of a beater though.
