Sounds good to me, who has the biggest yard?

I'll wager that we have more leaves per square foot than you do.

I have 31 trees on an acre and a half. Start counting. Do pine needles count?

Heck no.

I used to (3-ish years back) have a 76 RD400C, breathed on a good bit. Bassani pipes, big K&N filter (do NOT use separate intakes for the carbs), clubmans, way high rearsets, racing tail section. It felt like it weighed practically nothing.

Not only could I pass some modern sportbikes at CMP and VIR South, but I also rode it all the way and back on a long weekend trip to Lexington, KY.

I loved the bike, but I eventually got rid of it for reliability reasons. The powerband was about 800 rpm wide (I LOVE that! great fun!) and stopped 200 rpm short of redline, but take it over redline and the alternator disintegrates. It was just a little too fragile as a track bike and mountain carver to fit into the garage.

I kept meaning to replace it with something similarly compact, light, and cafe racer-ish, but never have. It is the bike I miss the most of those I no longer own, second to the infamous GSX-R1100. Totally different bikes, but each with their own charm.
