    Funny how the world works where an individuals early setback can eventually lead to our greater good.

    Does anyone know what minor impairment Soichiro Honda was born with indirectly led to our enjoyment of VFR's ? :clock:

    My "Guess" is that he had a restriction in his back flexibility, thus the more upright ergonomics of the bike.

    mmmm miley.... haha.

    Im guessing he had the gout. I know ben franklin had it, and I dont know of anyone else around these parts with it now. So folks in Asia must be hoggin all the gout these days.

    And a car crash may lead to herniated or severely ruptured disc, which leads to restrictions in back flexibility. Yup. I know exactly cause I am there now, and that is the main reason I initially bought mine. Thus the guess.

    BTW, gout is still very much out there. I sure glad I don't have it. I understand it is very painful and I also understand there is little one can do to relieve the pain when it comes on, just wait it out. One of the guys at work has it. I am told it may be emphasized by alcohol. So this leads to Weed vs beer thread.

    As far as the Avatar, my earlier disclaimer still holds true. I am going to have to look long and hard to find a replacement for that one I think. Maybe my mug shot?

    My guess would be that Honda San had a yen to go the extra miley.

    You can tell it was bunch of bored track riders before a track day and one says to his buddies "Hey, I got an idea..." LOL!

    You get a bunch of guys around each other sooner or later a "Jackass" moment is going to happen.

    My friend John and I have firecracker battles and they end up getting out of hand.

    I'm not sure what is more disturbing:

    1) The Fact that I did not notice this.
    1) The Fact that another girl did and I did not.
    3) The Fact that I'm considring a google image search.
    4) Or the Fact that we aretalking about someone who could be old enough to be my daughter if a condom broke in highschool...

    I heard that the SSSA was developed to ensure that graduates from the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute ( and other hacks) couldn't get the rear wheel on crooked after a tyre change??????

    Hmm, not sure just what the answer to your question is. But do know what he did prior to making motorcycle engines.

    What's disturbing is the fact that just talking about it could get you locked up in some countries... Isn't she like 13? :confused: :eek::mod::eek: and UGLY! :biggrin:

    Anything coming from Mr Achy Breaky can't be all that good... :nono:

    A reasonable guess but unfortunately no cigar...

    Interesting a question within a Riddle, the answer is of course dream of making motorcycle engines ?
