I'm sorry about that,  I meant to say "go buy a small motorcycle".  I
believe that you should stay under 350cc.  The reason that Mr. Honda is
so rich is that his little 80cc motorized cycle almost took over the world.
And, his Honda 305 "Dream" evolved into the 360cc/600cc twin that powers
all of the subcompact cars and Vans.  And the Honda "Dream" => Honda 350
is just about the perfect bike; not too slow, not too quick, but it'll
hit "too damn fast" without breaking.
