Re: Here's an example of the auto industry's prudent spending and wisdom.
I left my helmet home last time I went to bay area.
I brought my bike, as buses didn't go where I wanted to get, so I went to sporting good store.
I forgot how @#$&ing expensive they were.
So I didn't use one. Being over 18 that was legal.
Not the brightest move, but I wasn't doing heavy riding in traffic.

Our chainsaw has a 2-stroke. I think they've been moving away from putting 2 strokes in dirtbikes due to emissions, but its pretty much unavoidable to put a 2 stroke in something like a chainsaw.

The street legal is in reference to the Chinese bike.
But - "It seems that some are still miffed that Dodge never offered the fabled bike as a regular production machine, though a few were in fact created and sold as non-runners."
I'm guessing "non-runners" implies collectors item that can't be registered for street use.
IIRC, they were sold as "sculpture".
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

You mean two cylinder? I'm not sure if they're even allowed to make two-stroke engines anymore.
Sure, you find them on snow blowers. I know because that's what I have, and the thing is only 2 years old.
Hey, wait a minute....

Yeah - that V10 puts off enough heat to blow snow in shorts.
Everyone should have one.

No, the car I'm talking about is a 2009 or 2010 Mustang, which makes its collectible status a big joke. I think it was in a recent copy of Hemmings Muscle Machines, but it mighta been some other mag.
Is that the special edition Mustang they are doing to honor Lee Iacocacola?
No. It's a stripped, base model Mustang with a V8 instead of a V6, no heater, no VIN, and no possibility of passing a smog check. I think it also comes with a full racing harness and roll cage, but I could be mistaken. It's supposed to be a turnkey drag racer.
