Very cool

I knew a guy who had one of these in the US army in Germany in the 60's.

He said driving it was like rowing a boat you had to shift so often.

It has 4 speeds forward and you stop the engine and restart it running backward to back up.

Kind of like an RD with an old Dyna ignition.

How fast did it go like 35mph?

Downhill with a tailwind... This was in Austria in the mountains actually. He said there weren't many other transportation options for a young GI then. He had an old Moto Guzzi there also.

Congnac was 35 cents a bottle. That combination must have been interesting.
