Ha this brings up a memory.
When i was a young man 10yo or so i went on this big ride with my Dad and a bunch of his friends from the shop to a BBQ party AKA Biker Bash.
They had 5 or 6 "Jap" Bikes that they destroyed in different ways to entertain the HD crowed. Needless to say this was more the traditional biker crowed, lots of beards and cheep beer.
I admit i thought it cool at the time, but I WAS 10.
