I just read about a motorscooter* that was made in Czechoslovakia from WWII to about 1965. It was a communist design and must have been intended for suicide missions, because the gas tank was mounted on the front fender! I am not making this up. It was called a CZ Manet and various models had engines of 98cc, 125cc or 175cc. It would reportedly go 60 mph and produce a fireball 25 meters in diameter. Ok, I made up the part about the fireball, but the rest is true. Have I ever lied to you?
