In the summer of 1968, I went to a big outside motorcycle show in Chicago. While I was looking at the bikes, I was standing near what, to me, was obviously a black BMW. Another fellow asked the owner "What motorcycle is this?". I assumed the guy didn't know much about motorcycles, because the gas tank had the famous BMW emblems. The owner chuckled and said "Before I repainted it and put on a BMW gas tank, it was a Japanese Marusho 500!".
I learned I didn't know as much about motorcycles as I thought.
