Cruisin on two wheels again after 25 years. Kept my auto/motorcycle license all that time and still have that motorcycle savvy. Early on drove a Harley '48 Springer hardtail I rebuilt, sporting a C.I. flathead punched to 80 inches with straight pipes, three speed side shift with reverse and left foot suicide clutch . . . . roared down the road with brute force and just sunglasses on my head once tapping fenders with another car on a curve at 50 mph (1960's era-The Wild One). Also drove a Vespa scooter, a new 1964 Honda 305 Dream, Honda 350, and a new Honda CB450 (1972). Today, much more refined on a 2002 Savage 650, and it's fast enough for me now. Wife loves to cruise also. Opening up the exhaust a little and removing that white spacer sounds good to me! Oops, the 60's all over again ??
