List master willing, I'd love to hear more about Rivendell listers' motorcycles. I've toyed with the idea of getting one but always decided that for the price of a decent secondary-road motorbike I could buy a Clem or buy a new (used) car.
The only "motor-cycle" I ever rode was a 50 cc (? -- I'm guessing; it wasn't powerful*) Vespa circa 1973, belonging to a girl in my class -- she commuted to school on it; she on back giggling while I flubbed the twist-shifts. * The road to our school was a ~1 mile prepared dirt road ending in a very, very steep, curving 1/4-mile long hill. I'd always gag myself honking up it on my bike in the lowest gear after a fast ride to school. I recall the Vespa with 2 passengers (friend was not exactly svelte) almost stalling as I frantically tried to find 1st; I did manage to do so and thus avoided falling over.
