just adding a suggestion to your "wild thought".
the vespa i have is 200cc and can get me out
of almost any road situation. (trouble )
it goes 75 and weighs 223 lbs.
"maxed-out set of hair clippers" ??
far from it - don't knock until you
try it.
and if you ever get a harley in or on
an airstream - i would like to see it.
two words - good luck.
i.d.
