    True! ... wonder how many laps of the Isle of Man they'll get?
    Perhaps a battery change every lap?

    OMG that means Lucus!? The Prince of Darkness. Who's motto is "get home before sundown". Geez I hope not or that thing is doomed. I wonder if they ever stuck baseball cards in the wheel spokes to make noise? It worked for me years ago.................
