I finally get around to posting my Daily Driver, and now I cannot locate the thread.
Mods, feel free to move this to the appropriate thread.

Anyways, yep, I really do drive this contraption pretty much everyday the sun shines,
which is every day out here. I live for a rain drop. It gets about 120 MPG, or which
to say, $1.10 of regular every week, or when I run out of gas, like today, in which
case the pedals come in handy. She is a four stroke, and will cruise all day at about
33 MPH which is just about enough to get me killed. I spend as much time looking
over my shoulder (LOMS) as I do viddying out potholes and little old ladies of
the "press and go" variety.

In the basket are cans of slice mushrooms. I hit a crack and they went flying into
Dyer Street, and when I got back onto the bike my shoe fell off. Not for the faint
of heart, this.

The first motorcyles, around 1903, were much like this: bicycles with one lung motors,
so this little bit of repop is a lot of fun to drive and outrun loose pit bulls.
