    I very very appreciate positive comments about my English. No, I am not perfect, but I am willing to be. I am learning a new language. If you were learning Slovak language (as my native language) I'd be very happy and respect your hard work, so I don't understand why people don't appreciate my efforts. If you couldn't understand my speech, I'd understand that, but even native English speakers can. Please, give me a break, I am doing my best. One day I would like to be as fluent as a native guy, perhaps even with a proper English accent. To those who ask I am not going to stop talking, I enjoy that even though it actually takes more time to finish the video. Cheers to you, buddies, I very appreciate you enjoy these videos, I do my best to keep them entertaining and educational. Stay cool!

      I understand you just fine, what I don't understand is why people are complaining. Your accent is just fine. I'm trying to learn Spanish as a second language, so I understand how challenging learning a new language can be. Keep up the good work!

      I honestly have no idea why people are giving you such a hard time. I can understand you pretty well, and sure, you say a few words a little funny, and I can definitely hear an accent, but I also know plenty of people here in the US that can't speak English as well as you.

      Agreed, as a kid that moved to the states from kx city at 6, in 1st grade, I was placed in an English only school in super racist, rural east tx , my parents started the process of applying for permanent residency BEFORE I was even born and came here in a way that shames me in guilt when I see the stories of separated and abused children trying to get away from gang violence and extortion, a gang that was started in the us, L.A. by criminal offspring of El Salvadorians who came here to WORK AN HONEST DAYS WAGE in WHATEVER industry would take them and their insane work ethic that built businesses, sent some kids to college, only to be verbally abused at any moment of their day. Knowing when we finally moved to tx, in a suit and aboard a PanAm 747, picked up by a driver my Father's employer had arranged, drove us to a beautifully forested suburb north of Houston, to an awaiting brand new house, not an RV, not a mobile, but a brand new ranch style on 1.5 acres that coming from a concrete hellhole when little seeing pictures of alpine lakes and log cabins seemed like what all of America would be like. '82 was the height of the serial killer golden era and as young as 8, started riding my bike to school, alone, because I wanted to avoid the bullies that from the moment I got on the bus til the moment I was dropped off and throughout the entire school day was just a nonstop racist insult after another. I quickly realized the only way to avoid them was to fk them up, pretend to be a scared weaklings, going as far as buying soldier of fortune magazine and imagining what it would be like to be feared instead of the opposite. In 8th grade, it finally happened, some older jocks brother and his punk bitch ass friends 4 against 1 wanted to set up a time to "meet us after school" type shit outside. 30 minutes after getting home they actually showed up and wanted to go around the corner and not in front of houses but on a spot on our block that had no houses on either side of the street, I agreed, grabbed a baby baseball bat type memorabilia, stuffed it down my side and followed them to our spot we agreed on, it started as a pretty organized boxing match type thing, some good blows were landed by both of us, one specific dead center nose hit that felt and sounded "crunchy" with blood instantly pouring out of both nostrils, he grabbed his face and was stunned at where he suddenly found himself and instantly two of his goons in 9th grade, high school, against an 8th grade middle schooler, so I pulled out my mini Astros bat and they instantly back away, and in a show of absolute cowardice simply say that's not fair while they're trying to pound an 8th grader alone with three of them trying to take the bat, I popped one on the head and the rest wanted nothing to do with that after I lied and said go ahead, take it, it'll just free up my hand to grab the knife in my back pocket and reminded them 3 on 1 with the 1 armed was more than fair. The fight ended hilariously when the both of us that were the first to fight BOTH lost a contact lenses and asked each other if you're done? Another round as if we were considering ordering another round, he said he's cool whatever, I said be specific you wanna keep going or you done, "no we're good, I don't want to lose another lense, I said I have extras at home if that's the only reason you want to call it, both of us, ripped shorts, road rash on elbows, my lips like mince meat because of the braces I had on, and him with one brown eye and one blues ish eye so I could tell he wasn't lying about losing a lense, I said to all four, just fuck off and go home, I can fk you up on the bus in the morning. S bus ride he wasn't on and neither was he in school that day, the next day he shows up with his brother that drove to school w that crunchy dead center connection causing TWO black eyes. Must have hit him way harder than I imagined, my lips tore up from the braces but having showed up the very next day and his punk ass not, it was decided by unanimous decision that I had indeed got him way better than me and his buddies had already, in an attempt to make it look like he didn't want to chicken out, told everyone he simply stopped the fight because he lost a lie contact lens which was ridiculed until it was made known I had lost a lens too and it was mutually agreed that we had both agreed that we were done. So the asking in glory was short lived, one day, one glorious day. Followed by the next day and his raccoon mask with a head bobbing "what's up?" Now we were officially equals. Not a single racist insult thrown again, even though at the time, the number of latino kids at that school could be counted on two hands. The only thing that mattered was that I didn't skip school the day after trying to hide the swollen ground beef lips and arm scrapes with him skipping was seen as a comete bitch move. My point is, I am a pre comment section keyboard warrior days kid, now all you have to do is delete their shit and block them but if you happen to be present in shared spaces, you may as well just take your chances and draw out your inner rocky 3 because until you doz it won't stop

    The H1 was nor more "evil handling" than any other large Japanese bike of the day. You didn't really want to try dragging knee on any of them, but if you rode like a sensible human being, they're fine. Problem is, the H1 and later the H2 were the fastest accelerating stock street-legal vehicles in the world at the time, dusting all other bikes and all stock muscle cars. On top of that, they were WAY cheaper than the big 750 Honda or any of the hot British bikes. That means they attracted a certain type of rider: young, inexperienced, and crazy. So people died on the triples, for the same reason people die on cheap Craigslist R1s today. Also, when riding one today, the addition of modern tires and shocks make them extremely tame. If you want a Kawasaki triple but held off because of the reputation, just get one. If you're into vintage bikes, they're as good as anything.

They did have that same sound though, and we ran them at about 1700-2300 rpms can't remember exactly. Very reliable engines.

    First I want to say I really like listening to you speak. Your English is excellent, and your voice is very pleasant to my ears. I never have any trouble understanding what you say. It's part of what I enjoy about your channel. I wish I could speak a language that is not native to me so well.
    Don't let anybody who has problems with it get to you. They just have lazy ears. Your channel is unique and the fact that you have real human voice narration means a lot to me. I can't listen to those fake robot voices some people use. Keep up you great work and ignore the fools!
    I can't seem to get enough of the crazy 2-stroke engines! You've probably heard about the Rolls-Royce Crecy engine- it was a military aircraft engine developed in WWII that was a 2-stroke V-12 (!) with sleeve valves. It never made it into production because the war ended and also by that time jet engines were coming into use. No films or audio recordings were made, sadly, but it apparently was extremely loud and could be heard quite a distance away. Great video as always, you're the best!

When he was done with it you had to pull start it behind a truck and it was absolutely insane. It was over 350cc when he was done. Cant remember it was originally a 250 or 350cc to start with. I just remember I had no problem burning the tires off on pavement even from a roll and the when the powerband kicked it, it scared most anyone who drove it.

    Diesel 2 strokes have Exhaust Valves, most are both Supercharged and Turbocharged. Many the Turbo was optional so they were only supercharged, These Detroit Diesel 2 strokes were used around the world. Ships Trains Tanks Large and Medium Trucks Generator and Pumps. They were built for Continuous service. Many are still running today. The Detroit Diesel Super Chargers are the design for what the Worlds Fastest Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars have Used for near 75 years. The names of the Super Chargers are of the Detroit Diesels they Came off of. 8-71, 6-71, 4-71 being the most popular, also used 8V-71, 6V-71, 4V-71.

He said the only thing was the mileage went down a little. More than enough power to pull any mountain grade, east coast or west. It had a 40speed and rode like you were on a big comfy cloud. Those days are long gone. Uncle has passed on, he sold the last truck about 5 years before he went. Thank you for 👍🏻sharing the video post and best of 🍀
