    500cc GP bikes (two stroke) will they ever return to their former glory?

    From when men were men and the bikes scary.

    They were at a local boat show this winter.
    Dirt bikes but note sure on the RPA part??

    On the 500 two strokes, listen to what those have said that have ridden both them and their replacements.
    Traction control, wheelie control, tunable ECU's......, really ��
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
