A friend in the south of France came across a WWII variant. You know, the one with springs on the seat (the driver's seat only) to work as shock absorbers. No other springs to be seen except for those. It was not very pleasant sitting on the back of that one after we worked on it in our spare time for about a month :( Glad to hear progress is being made! :) Daniel At 03:51 24.03.2003 -0800, you wrote: >Daniel > >And we call Harleys "Agricultural Machines" The absolute antithesis >of the 6 cylinder smooth BMWs. > >Jerry > >Daniel Ridings wrote: > > > My wife calls the Japanese cycles: Sewing machines.
