    I bought a Kaw 900 in November of 1974. She was brand new, and I loved her more than anything. Before I bought it I tested Harleys and Hondas, etc. The Kaw 900 was the only one for me!!!! Weeks after buying her I rode from Norfolk Virginia to Los Alamos New Mexico. And many many other rides. She never let me down, ever!!!!! She's gone now, (long story) but I still love her. ....thanks for sharing your Kaw 900 !!!!! 😊

In my country, people do not like motorcycles. It is also a passing phase for some young men, so we do not have many bikes. But, in my early 20's a friend had a CBX and I did ride it a lot, as well as a Z1. I would have like you to convert my CB250 Nighthawk into a four. The BMW R1150RT..............I would give it to you for free ! Regards. Trinidad & Tobago.

      Couldn't agree more but he's "one of those bladdy awful people that ride motorcycles" (said with plum in mouth) so there's no chance of that. Look at Barry Sheen. The "Blazers" (begrudgingly, I'm sure) in the end, gave "The Cambden lad" an MBE, even though he won two world championships. Contrast that with SIR Stirling Craufurd (yes, that is correct!) Moss, oh and he got an MBE as well, who never one one world title (came damn close though!). Not that he wasn't a great driver, because he was but he spoke awf'lly nicely, y'know and daddy was a dentist from Royal Berkshire. Just saying!

      Well he is a genius. But of course we already do have Fusion power, and interplanetary travel. The Rosi E-Cat is one. Also, the interviews with Tony Rodriguez explain a lot of what we actually have. Also, in the 1930's, there was a guy like Millyard, named Royal Raymond Rife, and Rife created a machine that heals all pathogens in the body, and was a cure for all disease. Of course he wasn't allowed to sell the technology or use it. Look up photos of the Rife microscope. One of the most amazing feats of Human engineering (aside from Millyard).

    • @spaceflight1019
      @spaceflight1019 4 года назад +1

      Before you go singing the praises of Royal Rife, you should educate yourself regarding the hazards of high energy radio frequency energy. Doctors used to use diathermy machines, that worked on Rife principles, but modern day Rife machines consist of an illegally modified CB radio and an illegal power amplifier.

      @@mmm-rd4yr On the subject of ATGAT, I only ever took my Boulevard M1800R out just once without protective trousers (just regular jeans.) Weirdly enough, another biker coming the other way pointed at me and then to his kevlar pants (i.e where are yours?) I nodded (he meant well) and carried on regardless. Weirdly enough I got too close to a truck (my fault) and when a car pulled out on him, and he hit the brakes, I had nowhere to go. So I low-sided it and slithered across the tarmac. I was lucky, I only had a displaced shoulder joint (still got the lump as a souvenir). Even luckier, my jeans were ripped through but by some miracle I didn't even have gravel rash. So I guess the question here is, do ya feel lucky? Well, do ya?

Looked into it a little and found Demon Tweaks are a seller. I would think a retailer like that would not stock something that wasnt legit. Nothing mentioned of it on "bobs the oil guy"
