That spokesman sounds like a git.

What is a git?

A 'git' is a slang term for an asshole of a person!

Indeed - usually combined with "stupid" as in "stupid git" hereabouts.

Now, this is a total non-sequitor - but it is still a funny photo of a 70's cool guy...

Iconic. The most produced four stroke engine in history. Still in production under license.

Yes, indeed, for example as a 125cc in my wife's street dwarf, built in '22 : )

YAMAHA XT

Wonderful, the XT500 was my first "real" motorcycle (over 50cc). It was truly groundbreaking at the time. I had the '81 model with gold anodized rims, imho the prettiest one. Even though my first XS650 popped up in my garage the following year, I still deeply regret selling it

Oh that's fantastic. I didn't know the CT70 had been cloned.
