    One of the best videos yet. Mr. Frank on the GS, is a true inspiration for sure. Blessings to them both. God bless Kevin and his family as well. This is what's makes America truly great! We are stronger together, not divided.

    I had a bobber I called Frankenbike it was a 80ish kz650 motor on an '83 kz750 frame with the ass end of the frame removed and made rigid except for the springer seat....the seat heighth was 18-20 inches off the ground, it had 4 into 4 exhaust with no heat exchanger(4 straights that stopped about 2 inches behind the foot pegs, with drag bar handle bars. It would go from 0 to 90 miles per hour in a 100yds!!! I couldn't get more than another 35-40 miles per hour out of top end, but it'd get to 90mph really fucking fast!!!
    Good times!!!

    I had 1974 desert Whirlwind 140 miles an hour out of the create had it punched out to 1175 14/2 to 1 compression way too much had the Piston shave down to I think 12 and a half to 1 I. Still couldn't kick start it. Had a couple KZ1000 had a GPZ 1100 1984. Now I don't have a bike at all. Bums me out when I think about it. I sure do wish I would have kept that 1974 desert Whirlwind bike that was a really fast bike I miss it.✌👍😎 I was practicing one day with it getting off the line and I spun the crank I should have the pins welded should have had them pins welded.😎

    i broke my leg flat tracking last sept. its been a tough thing to come back from. i'm 57 now and i have been thinking maybe its time to hang up my racing leathers but after seeing guys like frank still racing and winning at 75 i finally figured out im being a pussy its time to bring out my z1 dragbike out of mothballs and keep on keeping the dream alive

    definitely love to watch longer videos that are all races as well as the stuff that has introduce riders to fans so if we're at races and know to pay respect to the vet's i especially love 75 year olds killing the 🌲 and just shows that muscle memory has plenty to do with reaction times and nothing to do with age you can't get wisdom in minutes it takes a lifetime 👍👍

    I dearly love technology I love having a 250cc 4-stroke used to I wouldn't ride anything but 500cc two strokes but there is nothing that I love better than seeing an old GS or KZ with a Big Bore Kit outrun the ZX-14 s or the Hayabusas so I guess you could say I am old school but I do love technology I love it all
