Me thinks, "Doomed" was, "Doomed"..

Never been anywhere yet where the speed limit is over 70,
think 80 was most I've been and that was still in 3rd.

Cousin once told me that a 67, Chevy 3 speed column, that he rebuilt the stock 327-300 motor would do wheelies when he shifted in to 2nd at 90..@#$%----
H*ll thats another {lie} (ER) story...

I was thinking maybe the troll comment was harsh
I know 7 posts, and bragging how his OLD honda was better than a Harley.

BUT
