Flathead 3

I was too damn amused by the following e-mail, I had to share:

The PW50 is officially on it's way. Aunt L got it shipped, and said the shipping was an early birthday present for Vaughn (either that or a very late one, depending on how you want to look at it). She wears the pants, so I didn't argue with her. Besides, it was very reasonable. I think she got a business discount.

It is UPS 4-day ground, but that's business days, so it's scheduled for
arrival next Wedneday. I hope Vaughn can wait that long. A week is a lifetime to a four-year-old...

By the way, I was jealous that Vaughn calls his bike
a "Fifty", because it sounds bigger than my (Harley) 45". So I calculated the displacement of his Yamaha in cubic inches... It's 3 cubic inches! That made me laugh. Henceforth, Vaughn's bike is known (to me anyway) as the "Flathead 3"...

Cool Aunt & Uncle or what?!

Two stroke performance is hard to sum up on paper. He may well still whoop your ass.
