Oh and for anyone interested - 72mph tops, cruise at 60 aside from the up hills. Handling was crudely effective, especially on the very bumpy sections - certainly enough to embarrass some much fancier machinery. I haven't held a throttle wide open for that long in 25+ years. They sound insane when revved - like race bikes, far different from the later 180 crank motors. Nearly everyone loved them.
