Hi - So true about the time, plus it is expensive. But anybody that really wants to do it, can. The hardest part is just getting started. To become a pilot, is simple - Go to the nearest small airport, find the building that says "Learn to fly here", walk in and say "I want to learn to fly" the rest will happen from there. 99% of everybody I've ever talked to, get stuck at this relatively simple step. I have a cousin from Estonia, who grew up in near poverty in a little village. All her life she helped her parents grow vegetables, and sell them at the market on the weekends. I paid her way here (USA) for a three month stay over the summer five years ago, when she was 18. She went flying with me a lot that summer, and went with me to Oshkosh (http://www.airventure.org) for the big airshow. That exposure, I think really affected her, as she just graduated college with an aviation degree, and is now working for Estonian Air, and will probably be flying one of the big jets for SAS, or other major carriers. :) I was shocked when I heard that was what she was doing, because her family is so poor. However, sheer determination can take you a long way. Jeff

wow fully old school. Notice the swing arm at the front, thats still cutting edge today. Not many bikes have this even today, and the only ones that do are very expensive exotic machines like bimoto. This bike would have been way advanced in its time.

Hola. It is a twin cylinder water cooled. This is no Japanese frame. The photo was taken by a press photographer during the Ulster Grand Prix, when it was a World Championship event in the 70s. Top speed was around 260kph. The hub centre steering made it very stable in a straight line at speedover bumps. The bike is yellow, as is the helmet. Sean

Hola It is a water cooled twin: the cylinders are not Suzuki, nor is the frame. Top speed was around 260 kph depending on gearing. The hub centre steering made it very stable in a straight line over bumps. The picture was taken by a press photographer during the Ulster Grand Prix in the 70s when it was still a World Championship event. The bike is yellow, so is the helmet. Sean
