Youd told me 115 was as fast as you could get it , on the KauKop road .If both lanes were available , . . to accomodate the weave .
Was a older ( 40 is OLD when your 20 ) guy on a 500 in 80 , with saddlebags , rack and windshield comuting on mach 3 .
Possibly waited till on the M way ,
to open it up though .
Incedently , we left the raceing RDs and the like to Smiths Saint .Which would have them from the get go . Even , or particularly when the Saint was two up .
Our Fried Dougs 500 would snot Smiths Saint though . He had dificulty admitting that too . If youre into raceing RDs .
Haveing seen the M-Xer do a hard right , and through a shop window , caution was advised with those .
Quitely pottering up Kyber Pass once , coming toward the lights , a Hondaboy trailbiker looking over his shoulder rode right up onto a V.W. Bettle , Stopped and as it rolled of backward as the car got underway , Manadged to stay upright . Very well done , I thought , and taken in good stead by the VW . Ignored .
My Diesel Mechanic aquaintance , The Avid Jap Thrasher Ran a Bonnie . 73 650 5 speed . Raced his Excess 11 agaisnt the GSXes ,his only brit bik the Bonnie he said handled better than , & would snot most things useing 8500 revs . Broke three sets of cam followers doing it , but wasnt one to be beaten .
So XS even with the Commando was considered fair .
Have you spent more on motorcycles than beer ? .
