HA! Trick question, trying to trap the newbies!
Everyone knows that on an air-cooled bike, the radiator
cap is rated in inches of mercury (or on European bikes,
millibars), not PSI.
Sorry to spoil yer fun, but that one was just mean.

One grunt and no follow through.

With a nightstick.

Just enough.

No, but their sprocket flanges need polishing every 2000 miles.
