These "Racers" are very interesting machines. I've enjoyed your videos very much.
As a very young kid in the UK in (I think) 1968, I saw my first Bridgestone, a 175. To my tyro understanding then, it seemed detailed and technical, more resolved, even compared with other Japanese motorcycles. This later turned out to've been quite perceptive. I never laid eyes on another BS for many years; they were very rare.
I'm thinking you might now be one of the largest Bridgestone owners on Earth!

@CodeTwo2 Bridgestone motorcycles didn't establish much of a foot-hold in the UK before they gave up the business, so they were very rare there. BS, though never as big as the other Japanese bike makers, did have a bigger presence in the US, than in the UK. So, there are many more old BS's remaining here to tickle the fancy of old farts like myself into collecting/restoring them. I know there are others who have more BS bikes (even sicker than I am!). I MIGHT have done more restorations (maybe).
