Groucho: Yeah, I remember that one. I don't think that was the time he was selling it as I believe it was my engine that was in the car -...
To All: Better late than never for an introduction. The most relevant biographical data for a car group is probably the cars they've owned....
Groucho: Yeah, the VCR part sounds right, it must have been worth $800 back then. God I hated racing fast bikes. Not only because they were so...
Let me add a little tid-bit about my choice of spark plugs back in the day. It's my opinion that in an engine that does not see a lot of boost...

Grouch: Steve Johnson?, man have I got a juicy story about him giving me like 15 or 20 and the go with his turbo bike TWICE, for a VCR. And you...

K-head: If I ever knew Boyd's last name, and I'm sure I did, it's been long forgotten after 30 years. That certainly sounds like him. Did you...
