      Had the pleasure at some Grand Prix in the golden era as a spectator.
      40 x 500cc on the starting line?
      You will never forget!
      Bring back the 500s!
      Sold around 20 years ago my KX500. It was a bad day see her gone...

    My best friends older brother in the early eighties had a 430 husky with a black and chrome tank, very fast and loud. He would race anyone on dead end road we liked on while he was on a wheelie! And beat them. He also had can-ams, Bultaccos. Ice raced for Gardner Cycles, no longer in business. Great memories. Thank you guys for bringing them back!!🇺🇸

    Mr. Kaplan, You are still fearless, don't sell yourself short. I know you can still do it. I'm a recent double amputee and my life's goal was to have a Harley, I'll never get one now. I'd need a trike as I am now. God Bless all of you and be safe when ripping around, brother.

    • @KaplanCycles
      @KaplanCycles  25 днів тому +2

      Harley sells a trike go get yourself one or a Honda like the one I'm going to be listing this weekend

    • @adamgriffith6750
      @adamgriffith6750 25 днів тому

      there are different trike models by harley and honda also, likely among others.. Another possible option could be an automatic can am spider.
      In kaplan's vid pub 5-8-24 when he's showing and describing the super fast Buell in one of the floors of the musem well parked real close is a nice Harley trike... generally they have at least a couple if not more than a few trikes there in the msem and the shop... i've noticed trikes here and there in the what is now manyyyy kaplan vids i've seen over the past over 1.5 years since i first ever saw kaplan vids.
      point i guess i'm tring to make is yah trikes are good and they are widely available... So, if you can and want to then get yourself a trike.

    Then I got a ride on a Husqvarna 500 OMG it was unbelievable.
    I thought my cr 125 was powerful.

You definitely have a Sensor For Talent, regarding the people you hire as employees. They all have far above average, rare talent. I found Justin's You Tube Page, and subscribed to it. Ran into it by accident. Had no clue he was on You Tube. He has some really good content. Hope you had a good day at work, brother. ML&R.

    I had what I thought was 1988 XC 490, but not sure. Same as that with ohlins. I thought mine was left chain drive and left kick. But I had my chain too tight and it broke the bearing. Rebuilt it, but messed up the ignition, got aftermarket ignition, but it never started as good, like it didn't get enough spark from kicking it. Husky sent me a new engine cover because they used magnesium for the water pump area and it corroded, they switched to aluminum and provided for free. Silencer blew off and it was loud. Way too much power for me, wrecked it when jumping, front high, went off back. Almost broke my leg.
