The pic at:

is crude. But it ought to ring a bell, if there's one of these in your neighbor's garage.

For those playing the home version of our game, the device in the picture is a 2-wheel-drive trail scooter that looks similar to the better-known Rokon� Trail-breaker� and its subsequent iterations bearing more PC names than "Trail-breaker."

If the concept of a 2wd trail-bike/trail-scooter affronts you, kindly consider this: such a machine walks over or through challenging terrain, on rather chubby, soft tires. It cannot spin one wheel at a time like the typical "all wheel drive" Soccer Utility Vehicle (SUV), selectively shredding the landscape. It has to turn a front and a rear wheel or it turns neither. And it's geared for getting there--not for showing off. So there has never been... (what's that empowerful talking-point? oh, I remember) A Rash� of 2wd bikes out there--nor will there ever be. They're just "Too SLOW!�" to appeal to the "mainstream." So, be of good cheer.
RKBA! Regards, all.
