I like it.

What kind of mileage do you get if you just drive around as if it was any other car?

Cool ‘n all, but I am still waiting to see someone put a single-cylinder thumper into a fun car.

Just last week I spoke with a man who - tasked to modify a factory in Germany - had to deal with WW2 duds under the floor. Apparently, if a bomb did not detonate the germans just poured cement on it and kept working. Der Führer needed tanks!

Further: no need for elaborate drive shaft arrangements with differentials and whatnot.

More than anything, I would like to have a Yamaha DT230 Lanza.

“I WANT A REAL AMERICAN TRUCK TO DELIVER MY MAIL!”

No, I can’t say I have spent much time fraternizing with wealthy noblesse like that.

What you are saying can be summed as “both bikes are way faster than those two riders”.

Did you ever purchase something because its brand was on a tiny sticker on the side of a racing car?

“You look like a cleaning lady with the rag on your head and the mop in your mouth!”

This is a lot like “peel the warning labels off stuff and let Darwin have his way”.
