towed in gear 2.0

This reminds me of something we saw on SB 101 below King City, California. Someone had a freshly restored canary yellow 1954 Ford sedan on a dolly with the rear wheels down.

@Dynalow,

Yeah, I knew that 2 strokes were on their way out by the time I bought mine, however I've always liked machinery that was a bit different. For 15 years I drove nothing but Corvairs.

My first was a Kawasaki KH400 triple 2 stroke brand new in 1977. I drove it off the showroom floor for $1049.00 out the door, put 13,000 miles on it before I sold it to a kid around the corner, who...

Last time I checked, I'd much rather change oil than swap an engine. Besides, that engine used almost no oil between changes. Ever. I've sold it, but it has every reason to go another 100K.
