^ similar story.

I voted "no" just because I sold my one and only motorcycle (Ninja 250) when I realized it was competing with my bicycle for local trips.

Oh wait - I had a 49 CC motorcycle too! A got a kit and mounted it on an old mountain bike... I used it when I briefly lived in the Caribbean (A) to get to work without being covered in sweat (and then I pedaled home); (B) to outrun the pack of wild dogs on one particular stretch of road that went through the country!
