Yeah, that's kinda what I remember being muttered when I was a 9-year-old listening to the guys talking about motorcycles. My great uncle was a professional motorcycle racer during the Depression throughout the Great Plains, during the Dust Bowl and after. He gave up riding motorcycles when I was about 13 or so, but he rode and commented on many different motorcycles. He said Kawasakis scared him back then, but I don't remember the particulars. He said BMW's were boring but smooth, and so were Harleys. I wish he were still around, now that I know enough to participate in the conversation.
