My dad knew Marvin Miller back in the 70's and did some electrical work for him.  When it came time for the bill my dad told him not to sweat it- Marvin told him to bring his bike in ('73 Kawasaki 900 ZR1) and he'd take care of something for him.  Long story short, dad ended up with a bottle between the front forks and a shot that felt like an extra 900cc's just joined the party.

He put more than a few miles (and bottles) through that bike around the Whittier area.  He remembers Nabisco well.

I love that car. When I do another VW it will be something along those lines. I loves the dechromed body and the chromies with no caps. Killer car

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

To each their own... I'm not fond of the term "old school." Never quite understood school, anyway... so new, old, or anything else just doesn't compute in my mind.

Even worse; never understood why anyone would want to run that bizarre gas mixture in their cars.  Huh

But, like I previously said, everyone's gotta do their own thang(sic).

My take on it is that Nitrous is a kick when it's running right but it has the potential for great disaster!

To risky for me.
