Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak discuss their history with motorcycles, specifically the power of two-stroke engines like the Kawasaki Mach 3. The conversation shifts to the dangers of low-powered mopeds compared to faster bikes. They conclude by noting the high turnout for early voting in Austin, Texas, and the long lines at City Hall.

DeVore It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Well now we do know you have owned a motorcycle license at one point in your life
00:40 Yes, well I owned a couple of motorcycles too. Do you still have an operating license? You know, it was foolish of me but somehow... You let it lapse? All you have to do is check a box and then you can let it lapse. I mean, I can go take the test and get it on there again but... And I've driven a motorcycle without the thing ticked off because I don't think anybody notices. It's kind of horrible. Not an RFID thing! Hey this guy doesn't know what he's doing! What kinda bikes did you own just out of curiosity? Kawasaki Mach 3, a little hot rod. A rice burner! We had a 750 triple these were old two-stroke... A 752 stroke? Yeah. You have like a canister of oil that you just apply continuously It didn't smoke as much as you'd think Wow and... Wait, 750cc's two-stroke engine?! Yeah! Geez yeah it was crazy powerful bike
01:45 A friend of mine, I used to drive that. He had a Honda 4, the four cylinder little guy. I think it was...I forgot what the...I think it was 752 is that nice four? No you had big bikes man pretty big stuff! I only liked bikes that were fast because I felt they were safer. They were, I think they are. I make this argument a bike that's fat, it's necessary out of control. friend of mine and bought a 1250 Kawasaki or something. It's at 1,250 CCs and it was uh it was so dangerous that I was-it was too fast but you want to be able to stop and go quickly because the things are... Yes this is true this is true And the only time almost got into trouble was when I driving somebody let me drive their Honda 50
02:34 So you mean a 50cc just like a motor? Yeah. Like a moped basically, moped Well the Honda 50 was a little more than a moped but you might as well have been a moped and the thing was like there goes to Zephyr 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 cars The thing was unbelievably dangerous. It wouldn't stop, it wouldn't go... I would never get on one of those things. Hey by the way have you voted? Early voting! Did you get in line to vote?
