And..."THERE IS NO WIND RESISTANCE BECAUSE IT'S ALL OPEN AIR." What the he** is the author talking about? It looks like the punchline of a bad joke: "What do you get when you cross a rickshaw, a pirate ship and a motorcycle?..."  Personally, I'd take her down to bare bones and put some aviation paint stripper on that tank and side cover. (But not for 6K!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Sorry D, but after just twenty one seconds, I discovered I just didn't have the other six minutes to spare. 
And you may see me tonight

I might trade a stripped bolt and a couple of burnt out lightbulbs for it, as long as there is no stipulation to leave it as is.
