          Dig that hip music. And it did have some good information.
          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.

            Yes I was surprised at just how relevant some of the instruction was.

                The fundamentals just don't change.

                  What a cool old video!

                  One thing I have to disagree with, though, in the text: Evel Knievel rivals Steve McQueen as one of the ultimate kings of motorcycle cool.

                  Sorry, but Evel Knievel was never in McQueen's league. Ever. Motorcycle cool or any other category of cool.
                  and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

                    it looked like evel put his foot down while doing his figure 8's. that would have failed him in a new york motorcycle license test.

                            Funny how lane splitting is now acceptable and legal in some states but in the video it was frowned on and considered dangerous. Some fundamentals do change over time.

                            Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)
