Dude tht is an obcession. Did anyone think to tell that guy that that is not a dualsport bike? I thin I would like to watch the whole movie.

Matt, that is amazing, that you got some many 'facts' from my own past tied into this story; beta-max, war, high tech guys. In 1983 (~Feb/March) several members/helos from of our Marine Amphibious Ready Group were sitting in LZ Red at the North end of the Beirut, Lebanon airport. Our presence brought about a uneasy resurgence of 'normalcy' which included the resumption of air carrier operations. We found ourselves sharing the ramp space with a Flying Tigers 747 and in conversation with some of the flight crew. They knew why we were there, but we being a bunch of curious Marines, "Why are you in Beirut, what are you carrying?" They had flown in from some place 'East' and they were carrying an entire cargo load of Betamax 'recorders'. The conversation ended up, "Want to buy a Betamax?" Ah, no. We were quite satisfied to show our (low tech, reel) movies projected onto a vertically erected bed sheet. It was quite popular for the Lebonese soldiers as well, watching from outside the wire. Pirates come in all types and sizes, and it appears the flight crew had a sudden loss of integrity. Sudden? No, I doubt it. (I was just trying to be polite.) Their lack of integrity cheapened our task and the risk that we were taking. Later on 23 Oct 83, the cost went up significantly for 241 Marines/Sailors. Of all the things that a war-torn city needed, VCR's would not have been at the top of my 'needs' list. I will stop now lest anyone object revmaaatin.
