It took me around 11hrs to listen to it, with all my back tracking - but also, I can't do what others seem to be able to do : do other things while listening to Pod Casts. When I'm in my workshop, designing / machining / welding, my inner monologue is just dialed to '11', so podcasts just don't have much of a chance of being absorbed.
But this one, had me stopping every now and then, and plonking myself on my Grandads chair, with a beverage, and ardently Listening. I'll have to try a few more that way.
Good stuff, Ping!
Ping noticed you were looking at some noises going on behind you...some kinda construction going on back there
This podcast is the best!

Great stories, segways,and questions from RJ before / during / after his time with Arnold at Team Honda.
Would be so good to do a part 2 one day - with a different co host who has spent some years with Dave A - selected by Dave A.
Such a wealth of historic bench racing info - I kept day-dreaming about the stories when listening - then have to rewind 20mins and listen to the next part again. (Full Bearuno spec)
If Dave A were to ever write a book - I would buy one.Add some photos from the times - and its the worlds most factory coffee table book.

And, the magnificent EXP2 'Activated Radicals' - 'AR' - 400cc 2t he mentioned (some reports describe it as 440cc, but, it won the then 400cc class), 5th outright against the Various Works 4t Multi Cylinder bikes:
In it's Baja guise - that may have been the 440cc Mr Arnold referred to? :
And, the bike they sold that used just a little bit of the AR technology , the CRM250AR - a Dual Sport / Trail Bike :
....
But, something makes me think he may (possibly) have some pretty heavy duty NDAs that Honda may have had him sign.......
Heck, I'm signed up to some NDAs with relation to some of my (great paying) projects for other types of 2 wheel vehicles, and I sure as hell would Not want to break them, and they would pretty much amount to nothing in comparison to what Dave Arnold would have been involved with / known about over his decades with Honda.
