I don't know if we got pissed off but I can remember when the "other" bike showed up at Irwindale and they made more runs in the back of the pit area than down the track and they were constantly wackin the throttle, which has this dumguy, dumguy, dumguy sound over and over, it kind of drove you nuts.
Personally, myself I could see the writing on the wall, there was no way that when they got those 'other" bikes working we were going to be able to compete with a bike that maxed out at 6000 RPM against a bike that could turn 12000 RPM, no matter the engine size. They were in line Automotive Engines that would very easily except a blower and ideal for a Slider clutch that would be all over a Harley. Guys like Russ Collins and Vance and Hines proved that to be true.
That switching over to all Harley came much further down the line and in the process we lost the All Bike Meets.
