  2. We used to rip one of those exact baby Kawi's up and down the railroad tracks where the Broadway Expressway now lies in Walnut Creek.
    Phoenix Ironworks also made the manhole covers that are used in The Walnut Knolls.

  3. Hmmm...is that the only motorcycle I have ever ridden? Best trip I've taken around the Bart parking lot!

  4. Killah scoot for Honolulu! Just talked to a guy the other day who said the market for older Kawa's was "name your price".
