I wanted to start this thread about the un-educated dumb people you run into when you mention anything to do with an RT...so I will share my dumb story with the RT group. I was at the wrecking yard getting a new hub for my Ford Aspire and asked my nephew to give the guy the old hub...the guy who worked their come out and ask me if I had a 5 spd car and he said that if I get bored with the cars power, I can install a 1.9L from a Ford Focus to make it more fun...I had told him that I was going to turn it into a RT and described how I was going to just use a single wheel in the back...this is where it got funny...he gave me that dear in the headlights look and then said "that things going to flip over when you go into a turn, it wont be very stable"...well, after trying to explain how stable the design is, I had to give up...he just doesn't have the brain capacity to absorb this technology. So, do you have a funny story to tell when you find dumb people who just think you have a few screws loose...I would love to read that funny story Dave

When I went to my local motorcycle junk yard to inquire about wrecked bikes for potential donor parts/motors -- I got the wierdest response when I explained what I was wanting to do. "Why the hell would you waste your time building one of those?" Of course, I tried to explain the benefits of the power to weight ratio, and the improved handling capabilities of a well designed RT...but the guy just thought I was dumb.

My favorite dumb question is: "Is it electric", while I am standing at the gas pump with nozzle in hand!!!!!
