    Working class heroes...we all like things "...that roll and go" Cuz all know single carb four banger just plain inadequate. Doesn't need full steering either, proved that tweaking the carb linkage. Short wheelbase and torque make corners free.
    A giddiup fan here too. Giddiup, I only heard that in California. Funny how an western colloquialism merged decades within arguable center of the automotive universe. Some would say Detroit; but who was following who's lead?
    Like Burt Munro, 1899-1978 “You live more in five minutes on a bike [or garden tractor] like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime.”
