Great show!
I just saw part 2, high-sides all over. I love how they talk about the "Honda lane".
2 stroke bikes are just awesome.
Had a new RZ350 always wanted a 500.
Rainey about the 90's bike:
"Power wise, the bikes we rode then had 190 horsepower but the powerband was from 9000 to 12,000 rpm. So you had about 3000 rpm that you were riding that beast in. So when you come to a turn and started to accelerate you’d have a sudden rush of 130 horsepower on a tire contact patch the size of your fist. The only thing keeping you from wheeling over backwards or high-siding is your right wrist—there was nothing else controlling that. It was just the seat of your pants, your brain, and your right wrist and how you dealt with that. It’s not the same anymore."
