    yesterday at work i get some old adds sent to me and i decided to look up some old motorbike, scooter ads

    but i just thought they were somewhat interesting to at least look at the photo's and read the headlines

    my manager passed his RE L's today
    so the Polish guy i work with sent this pic around
    he thinks it's the best bike ever...

    he says that if you run out of petrol you can pedal to the servo
    and if the motor can't get you up that hill
    pedal!!

    1.8 hp at 5000rpm

    I thought I'd add a few, although the first one isn't old.
