Downhill in the Park, I once barely out ran a plated AFM racebike, a GS 1000, piloted by a truly fast club racer - Dennis Smith - on my drum brake Suzuki 250 X6 Hustler. It was all about high cornering speed, listening to that monster howling and chattering as he closed on me at the end of every straight. While he was accelerating and braking, I was making arcs, defending real estate, slithering, all the way to the bottom of the hill. The adrenaline . . . .
Suzuki 250 X6 Hustler -- good memories. I find it fun that some of is gravitated to the same little hotrods. I had guys on Triumph 650s try to stay with me on winding Florida country roads. And the Suzuki was mostly stock if my memory is holding up 45 years later.
Tetge and I have some shared bikes. Did you by chance have a Ducati Diana Mk 3, or a Bultaco Pursang (the single downtube red one) along the way?
Emails to my legal team remain unanswered. 
But, this was only since yesterday. Though, even if all goes well, I am now concerned that a procedure or recovery time will push into my much beloved and mentally needed week of Vintage Bike events that rolls around in the first part of October.
