I seem to remember that model was nick named the widow maker . Some history on the TM/TS 400.
SUZUKI TM400 CYCLONE - The most dangerous bike ever built : Off-Road.com
In 1971, with a great deal of fanfare and hoopla, Suzuki introduced the TM-400 Cyclone motocross bike.hoopla! The press affair was held on a Warner Studios lot and Captain Kirk himself was the celebrity who worked the microphone for the starry-eyed media.

About a year ago I was in a Publix and encountered a lady with several offspring. Between kids and cart the aisle was blocked and she wasn't moving. I grabbed her cart and pulled it behind me and moved on. As I passed she said, in a very haughty voice, "That was rude." I replied, "Lady, that was as polite as I get." As i moved down the aisle I heard her say something about the manager.
A few years ago we went up to Silverton, Colorado for the 4th of July festivities. Big brass band in the Gazebo, Fire fighter trucks having water wars, festivities in the parks, all leading up to an awesome evening fireworks display. We were walking on one of the slat board sidewalks lined with a handrail. Me pushing a stroller with our 1 year old in it and my wife behind me holding the hand of our 3 year old. We were going to the malt shoppe. An elderly woman was gazing at the mountains and at the steam train not realizing she was completely blocking the way. We stood there and waited a little while. Well my 3 year old got impatient and let out a little uh hmmm. That got the woman's attention. As she turned and realized what she was doing she said " Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought I was the only person in Silverton today"
Classic. We all laughed.

People like this guy make me proud to be a human…seriously.
Folks asking themselves ”I wonder if I can do….” or “How can I make this do…” have led to some amazing discoveries and inventions. The combination of intellect, curiosity, and drive that it takes to bring ideas to life is so rare. Loved this post. Thanks!
It worked too well. Guerriere was taken but the following morning full extent of the damage was known. The prize crew and prisoners were recalled to Constitution and Guerriere was fired into, set ablaze, and sunk.
