   you wins da cigar, boss.  the tower on the jug side looks like a greek column.   
   the 450 racer motor put out almost 60hp.  we plugged one into a street frame   
   and it was a riot in the city.  all the rice rocket boys cried when we wiped   
   them out at stoplights.  we put 250cc stickers on it to really screw with   
   them.  i think we still have the bike.  might be fun to pull it out of the   
   pile.
