All the stuff is in one place turning in the same direction.

I can't remember seeing an engine the other way round. I think the

Morris Marinas were that way, they had a very long bonnet.

With the weight that far forwards, braking hard would do an endo.

If you don't know what an endo is:

I've been known to pull a wheelie a time or two but I'll leave the endos
to the kiddies. I'm all to familiar with the 6 to 8 weeks bones take to
knit. Except ribs. Those suckers take forever.


I used to love doing endos in white water kayaks.

I prefer touring in a canoe. Like with a bicycle, it's a vehicle for travelling and enjoying scenery, not for performing tricks.
