Sorry..I Can't bridge the gap as you ran 125's and I only knew them as a go-kart engine...but was too young to have the means to get one in the 70's. I still will only ever know them as a go-kart engine. I feel lucky that I missed most all of that era. One could not hand me one of those saws. They are not my thing but much..Much respect. 'We' were the 'gifted generation'. You guys had to take it in the +++, and across the guts and through the legs and through the arms and commonly got WFS.I find such discussions amusing.
It is no secret that I am an old school man, in almost all ways.
I would share my views, but that high pitched squealing from the younger Gens is annoying.
I know they sure did in the BC. My neighbour, old Mel Fredrickson showed me 6 of the baddest scars in the early 80's whilst in his mid 70's
I mean leg hanging off, arm hanging off, 16" scare across the guts.
C'mon Mr. Bogangles? Lets hear you out please?
