    A vision of the future, from 1930

    I can't seem to embed this image, or attach it even. Jrandom has attached it proper-like just below.
    But what a cool thing eh! Love the 1930's!

    That is cool! Would be a bit of a laugh to try to make something like that nowadays, wouldn't it?

    No chance of running of the edge of those tyres. No-sir-ie.

    Suspension might be a little harsh thou.

    I don't care if it uses 2 Mellowpuffs, it still only has 1" of possible travel.

    OHV...excellent. Does anyone think my neighbourhood would be upset about the straight pipe?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
