5. Actually, it's a tricycle.
But that's nit-picking.

10. True but it were barreling down on you, I don't think that fact would put your mind at ease.

14. Two cylinders from a Lycoming radial aircraft engine. Shake your 'nads off.
And, I wouldn't be the one to pick it up, if it got dumped. Not even sure I would have the strength to pedal (or even climb onto) the tractor trikey thing, at top.

17. CB 500 was big enough for me.
Parked it one night in Venice Beach. Some guy who must have made a fine living as a Hollywood character actor in gladiator movies - at least 7 feet tall, a lean 320 pounds - came by with some friends and casually picked it up and pressed it over his head. Put it back down, oh so gently, right where it was, and walked off with his buddies. I was sitting across the street, but didn't get up or say a word.

The 410 was made for him.

13. Knackered after half a block
If he'd thought to put an electric assist motor on that thing, he might be able to ride it a bit farther. As it is, props to him for being able to muscle it down the road, at all. I'm assuming he's going down a gentle slope, too.

The horn's a great touch, though. I want that horn.
