Ha, Jeff it sounds like my time with motorbikes around here.
A Honda 750 definitely was the mark of a man, and anyone with a Kawasaki 900 was elevated to a God like level. Us Triumph boys had too much pride to ride with them (because we didn't want to get thrashed
). A few of the guys went the Suzuki 380 route then bought water buses (the 750). LOL One or two are still alive and ride BMWs now.
