              There was a time long ago that Kenny Roberts and an XS 650 bored to 750 were winning against HD.
              Not to forget the RD 350 beating 750 Kaws and HD, again with Kenny at the helm.
              Or is my mind still slipping the clutch ?

                  not slipping the clutch...........and is why class specs were re-wrote, banning the xs650 and RD from class.......I know, just sore losers.
