I ride a V-star, but it's just a commuter. I have to ride with a bag over my face with a few eye holes cut out so no one knows who I am...

Well that explains the near death experiences you've mentioned.

You have a nice bike

There's still one running?

I always wanted to ride one, but it seemed like every one I found for sale was locked up............ And nobody knew how to work on them even back then.

I also want to find a Wankel powered bike, can't for the life of me remember who made it............but it wasn't for long.

Yeppers, there it is. I could have bought one cheap, but that was in my Brit bike days, and the Suzy was as diametrically opposed as it got.

Remember when the Wankel was going to save the world?

We found the solution to that problem, they came out with a cast aluminum intake that bolted to the head and mounted a single Mikuni smootbore. Never ever messed with a carby again, now the Lucas......................
