Turbocharged Motorcycles are a Terrible Idea

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

... but they were a hoot to ride!

I had a very close friend with an 84 Kawasaki 750 turbo. I got a bit of seat time on that one. It was scary. I had my 85 Eliminator at the time and we carried the Kawasaki Banner proudly.

Just because an idea gets patented does not necessarily mean the idea is effective or even good.
Ask me how I know.
The main criteria is, "is it novel"and has anybody else done it?
