Yep Keith, I'd sure like to see him make a success of the 961.
I might have told you this before, but a few years back when Kenny Dreer brought some of his first non-running prototypes of that bike to Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey CA during the World Superbike Races, I got to not only talk to Dreer, but I also was able to sit on one of those 961s too...and MAN was I hooked!
I think they are some of the best lookin' bikes I've seen in some time! They just look cleanly purposeful in a modern sort of way, and yet also have this kind of muscularly retro look about 'em too.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
