There was an East German 2-stroke called a Wartburg.
It was known as a Waterbug!

We had one of those when i was young! if it was crank started badly, it ran backwards. I recall my dad putting it in gear to drive off and simply reversed into and through the wooden garage doors LOL.

This is the kind of classic two stroke I want a go on (not taking anything away from your dirt 'pooters which looks a hoot) http://www.crash.net...-of-man-tt.html though if I did get a go on it I'd likely be brown bread within 500 yards

Make sure you stay for the Senior then, you'll only hear/see it for two or three laps in practice otherwise.
