Had a Yamaha xj650 maxim rat chopper, a 71 bonneville oif long chop, a suzuki savage 650 bobber, couple vulcans with some suspension deletes and other weird mods, a cafe-d out xs650, cb750 chopper with a 6. Just cruising through the streets, me and Road Runner Go chopper, too deep. But why hasn’t Bana, evidently a great comic, gone more into film comedy?
