I thank the motorcycle gods for electric start, FI, real brakes, grippy tires. real suspension, and a tank you can hold with your knees. That said, I'd have fun on a modern two-stroke street bike.

Got pics of the dinosaur?

Finally got a few uploaded from today's ride. Still snow piled up in the background.

The triple looks pretty good ( well, other than the tall sissy bar

)

There is a easy front brake upgrade, it uses a EX caliper , a simple mounting plate and a ex master cylinder ( if you want to upgrade that too )

That's definitely something I'd do- at least, mount up a second front brake. Doubt he'll go for it though. And I really hate that sissy bar

It's just in the way all the time.

I did the brake upgrade on my '73 H1. I got a '07 Ninja 250 master cylinder and caliper off Ebay for about $50.

It even came with the original rubber brake line that fit
