One engine just doesn't do it for some people

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

What would that 48 cyl jobbie have cost to build!?
I wonder if it comes with a boy to spray ether (?) in the the carbies as you ride down the road.

A good thing it is easy to start, really makes it worth the while going down to get a loaf of bread.

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?
I believe in the "hereafter", every time I go to the shed I have to think "what am I here after"
