If I'm the said Big Fella I'm offended so much I'm now in tears!
My Rokon is still under my ex's house in Big Pine, California waiting for the day that I'll bring her home. Despite their lumpy personna, they're a bit of a weapon once you get used to the weirdness of the belt drive auto trans. The 340 Rokon snowmobile engine is pretty grunty but the trans soaks up a bit of power.
I guess I should start making moves to bring it home. I got a Christmas card from her so I guess I'm still in the good books enough for her to sort out some shipping for me.
As soon as I'm financial enough I'll get to it.

wooops! sorry Firko..can I change that to the 'not so big fella anymore!!'

full auto bikes are a weird thing but I expect once used to them they could be quite 'normal'. I rode a Husky auto and one of those 750/4 japauto honda back in the day at Bert Kingston's. Both only short rides but enough for me to understand it's kinda like stepping off a bike onto a sidecar..it's whole different ballgame and you can pretty much throw what you already know about riding out the window as it just doesn't relate. The Husky was good but the transmission noise was scary and in hindsight this bike would not have been far off new  :-\
