... Done.

This seems like a good opportunity to remind everyone in this thread of the Forum Guidelines, specifically the part about vulgarity:

In addition, the "masking" of vulgarity by inserting * or another keystroke in place of one or more letters in a vulgar term is unacceptable in most cases. This applies to all content submitted by users including posts, PMs, avatars and signatures.
Please keep the posts clean. Thank you.

Sorry, I knew the cuss-filter would catch the f-bomb and replace it with asterisks. Is 4 asterisks followed by "ing" to risqué? Or does the cuss-filter not permanently change the word?

actually it looks like some of them have nicer engines. Though it seems near impossible to pedal with those tanks.

It's the middle of the afternoon, you should be ashamed of yourself to be this wasted.

Yeah, let's put more two strokes on the road. Good call. Anyone who's been to Rome will know how tasty they make the air.

I'm not the one that bumped this thread, but I'll take the opportunity to point out your comment smacks of ignorance. At least check the specs before you disparage the Derringer.
