Not to mention that, that plate in the carb of my DR370 (1979 vintage) isn't a
slide...it's a choke plate. 8^) Generalities generally don't work...I should
know I use them way to damn much generally.

That means that the 1982 Kawasaki I put 10,000 miles on a couple of
years ago with the NON-CV carbs didn't really have a choke?

You might also want to get your head out of your posterior long enough
to look at a 90's Honda Shadow. My friend's is parked in my driveway
right now complete with the handlebar-mounted choke.

Well, I've ridden with Turby and broken bread with him.

Because you claimed (and I quote):

Your generalization is wrong, and my bike proves it. As do many others, to
judge by other responses in the thread. That much alone makes it relevant,
but my real goal here is to hope that if you are discredited often enough
for your outright ignorance, you will eventually abandon your stubborn
hubris and stick to discussing what you know, because when you do that you
are a genuine asset to these groups.
