My first one was one of these things, I was 14 and it was legal with a driver's license and tag. Notice it has a variable centrifugal clutch. One of the things he doesn't mention is the reserve was a compartment in the fuel tank and if you ran out of gas you laid it on it's side so the gas would run over to the petcock side, set it back upright and you had fuel once again down to the carb. Duel spark plugs and duel exhaust ! Only brake was on the back wheel (no front brake) and no battery, a 2cycle engine, kick start only and lights were run by a coil and from the flywheel magnets. They were heavy but sturdy.
