Man! That was a time when little scratches on your tank or cases just didn't mean 5hit!!!

Of course they probably didn't spend the equivalent of a month's salary for their rides either, or did they?

Cool videos Limey, Racing sure has come a long way. It'd take quite a few screwups for a dog to make it onto the track!

I like the record speed of 81.7 mph with the big super wind jammers on the front. Take off the 59 pound fairing and they may have gone 88 mph. Those were some good pictures.
