I like the sticker "This machine has no brain, use your own". Words to live (longer) by.

In the 1960s, the most resourceful teenager in our neighborhood married a “spider” bike and a 3 1/2 hp horizontal shaft Briggs engine. V-belt drive, no clutch, push to start, and hand brakes off a junked English bike. He rode that thing everywhere, except Main Street. The cops were willfully blind as long as he stayed off Main Street.

One of my Favorite things is when you push the "start" button...the metal door swings out and supply you with the hand crank tool ;D

Jin & Co. should make a Lister D from a M12B. Just add a water cooled flathead.
