You and me both Tal....ever since we were kids most of us wanted the fastest pushbike...trolley...skateboard or whatever regardless of the skin we were bound to lose.
My first motorbike was a Puch moped capable of stunning speeds ..if i lay down along the tank i could squeeze 25mph out of it!!...without remapping it too!
I'm still seeking similar modifications to this day!!!..i guess its the boy in me!....oh!...turning 76 this month!...not interested in breaking any speed records now but i have had the Rocket flatout..once. Thats enough for me cos my angel spoke to me quite sternly!..I do love these Rockets!
My "riding" life started with me grafting a lawn mower Engine into a push bike frame.
At the same time my "engagement with the "Constabularly" started as I got a ticket (at 13 years of age) for no liecence, nof WOF, and no registration.
Fortunately an Uncle went and saw the "Chief of Police" (Ministry of Transport in those days) and told them to pull their heads in, this is a kid making life happen.
All charges were dismissed !
