Awesome video!

The REALLY KOOL thing is I WAS THERE and saw it in person!  (Yeh, I'm old)

The second REALLY KOOL thing was I road to Daytona and back, from Houston, Texas on a 1969 Honda CB750 Sandcast!

Was already 5 years in love with Honda owning a 1964 CA200, a 1965 CA95, a 1966 CB77, a 1967 CB450, and a 1969 CB450K2.

I was 19 years old and that was the ultimate life experience for me at that point in time.

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.

I wish I was a teenager in the 70s no need to worry about what to call a girl.  Dick Mann won the Daytonna 200 and Bruce Jenner was still a man.  I was playing with tinker toys, legos and impressing the ladies with burn outs on my big wheel.  Rode that so much it developed a flat spot.

I found it quite ironic that You'd put "dick" and "Bruce Jenner" in the same sentence....  ;D ;D

Thanks for sharing Kimosobey. CR750s are what inspired me to take the plunge into combustion bicycles.
200 miles at 9500 rpm!  Top speed of 160 mph on those skinny rear tires.   I was 4 years old in 1970.  I still have my balls but they will never be that big.
