I heard that he killed himself because he knew Beulls were going to be invented. That's how fucking hard Steve McQueen was, and how determined he was that he didn't want see a bike as gay as a Beull!!

I've only owned one bike in Thailand.

A Kawasaki Zephyr 750. Lovely bike, but the radiator was far too small - being air cooled, overheating was a massive problem here

. Sold it about 8 years ago as I'd had one too many close calls on it and knew it would kill me sooner or later.

Only in traffic it becomes a problem and have yet to see a bike that doesnt get hot sitting at a traffic light every 2 minutes. Australia, Oman are all hotter places and have had air cooled bike in both of them with out to much trouble. A good oil cooler is a good investment

565,000 with book plate and free German helmet

Wouldn't that exhaust be dangerous without heat proof pants?
I seem to remember burning the shit out of myself on an old Honda scrambler which had a similar exhaust setup.

Also the name "scrambler" doesn't hit me right. Probably because my brain is already "scrambled". I don't need no additional "scrambling" from some "scrambler"!

My virago is bad enough but if you lean around a sweeper and are going commando.. i am sure you could burn your balls on that exhaust.

Oil cooled and traffic lights suck.
