Great flashbacks for sure. The B&W image is very sharp. RLET - advantage does appear to be in the lead in that frame.

As if RLETs ever truly needed justification around here, lol. But hey, I'll ride a little more proudly the next time I head out, RLETs installed of course.
Love the old MX shots. I thought I'd dig out some of my own old MX photos, but it turned out that I just don't have the patience to track them down tonight.

Here is another case. This picture is a young Marty Smith. I seen him racing, I believe, in the 125cc class at Unadilla Motocross, NY. During the 1970s.

this shot seems to confirm those reports that RLETs attract females. totally worth a little wind drag.

Baxtercat, your point of RLETS being a chick magnet may have validity. However, your point could be a hard pill to swallow. Back while I was in college, I took this nice young lady for a ride on my CL350. That young lady is now my wife. So that begs the question, was that young lady attracted to me or my RLETed Honda?
I may never know that answer. To be safe, I best keep on riding RLETed Hondas.

" ... what are those on the levers?"
Ferret: Did you take this photo? If so, what were you thinking about when you took it?

I was going for the look of the bike my mom didn’t let me get on my senior year of high school. For months I drooled over the 1982 (or 83 don’t remember), red and black nighthawk with bikini fairing. I believe it was a 700. Now I have its look alike. I’m sure my mom in heaven is po'd at me.

I am very sure she is now very harpy for you..
