While reading this summers issue of Barnett's BikeCraft (Not a rag I'd recommend to anyone) I was pleased to see two items of interest.

One was an article written by Art Friedman (I'm sure some of you remember him from Cycle News, Motorcyclist, and Motorcycle Cruiser as editor [again, none of which I'd recommend]) reminiscing about his days (decades) of racing the H2's and H1's ( I have one of both).
The articles title is "Racing the Whoopers", and he confirms the "Better-than-average" performance of the new ('72) H2's, which is refreshing, cause it's contrary to popular opinion (MYTH)!

The other is a write-up on the new Yamaha Star Bolt. "Bob Sled"

The REST of the mag. is approximately 100 pages of high gloss oddball stuff.

Again, just a little slower.

No, I WOULDN'T recommend the magazines to ANYONE.

BUT, the TWO articles I did find entertaining.

But two good ones out of sixteen total,

Maybe one could just find the two on line.

Really confussing now, ay?

I read a lot of sh@t that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

So I should just go to Barnes & Noble, grab a copy off the rack, get a cup of coffee and sit down and read through it. I'll put the magazine back on the rack before I leave. Got it!

Can you tell I've got this routine down already?

I didn't know you were allowed to do that, thank you. You guys are putting a buff job on my criminal minded personality.
