Not sure if there is a thread specifically on this, but i'll start with one from Jay Leno.

Enjoyed the video AJK. Like Jay said hard to beat the sound of the old sohc4 Honda's. Even though Jay has more money than he can shake a stick at he seems to be just a regular guy who grew up in the 60's and 70's like us and loves motorcycles. It would be great to meet him sometime.

 All that messing about for looks, shame about the three and a half cylinder engine. If you make it to the end , he shuts it down pretty quick so you can hear him talk over the clatter.
I've not found too many on youtube that run properly.

I like Jay's episodes. He presents it well & seem's like a humble guy given his success.

This is an old one and i'm sure many have seen it.

I was hoping for a nice 750 not your average pod wearing crappy painted collection of parts?the word build gets flaunted around too much?

The riding position on the 550 looks very uncomfortable.

For those of you who don't know how to embed the video (Like I didn't!) Just do it like this:

1.  Hit the reply button (full reply not quick reply)
2.  Right above the row of smileys the first button is a red circle with f in it (flash).  Click that.
3.  It will write out a template for you.  by default it makes the height and width 200 and 200.  On the youtube page you can find the proper size and change these by going to the share > embed code.  (don't need to use the code, just look at the height and width numbers in the beginning.)
4.  In between the ][ insert your url.
5.  Your youtube url will be something like this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIo9Aq0yazQ change the part in bold to simply v/
6.  That should do it.

harisuluv, skip towards the end for the magic. I imagine this is what happens to some of your meticulously rebuilt carbies.

and just wanted to try out the video thing as well.

Dig that cafe'd supersport except for the grey frame/swingarm. Bike would look way better if they kept with black.

I think everything on it should be black, flat black.

Yep. Definitely agree. There's just something about it. Especially against that orange.
