Glenn Curtiss rode a fast bike, too--Original bike is on display in Air and Space Museum--D.C.--2nd floor/rear-----hard to find.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

True, but he didn't have idiots in SUV's to deal with either.   ;)

It's cool Upper. Breaking balls is a NY institution. If u give u have to take it too. The real reason I have a K is a guy asked me if I wanted a bike for $100. It had a title 16,000 miles on the clock and been sitting for 20 years in a dry basement. If it was an F I would have an F. For a $100.00 and 100 hours of wrist breaking work and frustration, who could pass up a deal like that. Ride safe my brother. Feel free to break my balls anytime.
