By request, I'm going to try to get this back to engines by deleting the OT motorcycle riding comments. But bring on the bike engines! I'll post some of the great Honda 250 6 if I can find them.. I tried to leave the bike posts that seemed about the engine, not the bike, but may have messed up a couple.
