120 on an H2 Kawasaki 750 3 cylinder 2 stroke. Given nickname (Widowmaker) Also later same bike. It had been missing. Too many slow easy miles on town, fouled plug. Cleaned plugs and took it out to blow the carbon out of it. I got it up to about 80 and got speed wobble on front tire. I fought the wobble down to about 60 and it went out from under me. I went sliding face first following the bike as it was shooting sparks from the concrete. I slid to a stop, bleeding profusely. Someone in a 64 Chevy stopped and helped me up and gave me a towel to cover my face and rushed me to the emergency room. 3 hours and 500 stitches later my nose was reattached, my lip and a cut above and under one eye was stitched. Bike had a friction knob to clamp and keep the front from wobbling. After a while it had a tendency to loosen and I didn't know it. June of 1975.
