OK, alright i give in I confess - I quite like them - in theory and design.
They are just so unlikely and the sound is part of it. It's just some of the
cashed up w*nker wannabees around here that ride them that annoy me. It reminds
me of the way that punk kids would keep a pet rat, not because they liked rats
but because it bothered people. Fashion statement. "Look at me - aren't I edgy,
daring, whatever."
As to sound - when my son was a rider (he sticks to a bicycle these days - as a
functional device - he doesn't wear Lycra) he was on 'provisional' registration
- as all are here after they first get a licence ('P' plates) and restricted to
a 250cc or less. He bought this damn Kawasaki 250cc four cylinder thing that
howled like a giant wasp. No rumble - just a knife in your ear.
