That thing would last about 10 minutes out in Glamis before the top end would cook.
Air cooled singles or twins, not so bad...but a big air cooled 4 cylinder crawling on the dunes  :bomb:

Why not just project the exhaust forward and downward, exhaust facing the ground?

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.
