Hanging a motor on the transaxle would weigh at least twice as much, and just burn up clutches.

I appreciate it!
But Mooresville, North Carolina's gonna happen before I do anything else.
I've been looking at that new boat-tail and stinger since 2017, and it hasn't budged a millimeter. And it's been 'in the way' all this time!
I've got a shot at breaking 40-mpg in 'Spirit' for the first time and I'd like to experience that before I kick off.
I do want to see the salt flats again, and maybe when Gumby79's racing his Cummins Dodge there for a record. And the 85-mph bikes at Battle Mountain. Giga-Factory, Sparks, Nevada,........................................... ....
