I guess if you are a wrench and about to replace the belt on one you would say to yourself "Hey this is better"

My son built his bike with a right hand drive. The rear pulley doubles as the brake disc.

Fact is, a Vic does what it does VERY WELL,maybe even better than a Harley. But when all is said & done, & the ride's over, you still gotta stand back & look at it. Kinda like doinkin' an ugly babe--a lot of fun to ride,but after you throw your cheese & you're lyin' there lookin' at her, you say to yourself "WTF did I just do???"
I know someone who did
