They (the bikers) were as curious as most... even more so. One even added that, this is how motorcycles got started. Another remarked that it leaked just like and AMF Harley (fixed that by adjusting the needle valve fork). After explaining the how and economy of motored bikes; when they passed me, they gave me the left-hand salute/acknowledgement. As I rode home, necktie in the wind (I am an IT guy for the government), I had an ear to ear grin!
