Tri....I swiped one of your pics :)

That's an old pic of a Performance Works prepped MKII. Harry Maillet's shop. What ever happened to that place?

If you have that pic, you're died in Green, die hard and have been around a while ;)

I remember when those Eddie Lawson roadrace bikes came out. At the time were expensive but a must have if you wanted even a chance of running near the front. Streetbikes were even built to mirror the look and where the Kawasaki model came from. Those bikes were FAST! They looked like a beast to ride also but Lawson made it look easy....power wheelies...power slides through corners. After this model of bikes from each manufacturers, they started on theie way to becoming belly-button bikes and they lost all their character in my opinion.
