[GeoStL] Re: Just what RGS needs.

Back in the early 70's I borrowed 1 for a day an rode it out at the aggets.
A friend of mine was a dealer. Back then they were called "Rokon".

It was very different from a dirt bike. There was no front or rear
suspension; the large, low pressure tires provided the smooth ride. Both
wheels were powered by an automatic transmission (hi/low) and the aluminum
wheels were sealed with a tapped plug so water or some other liquid could be
stored in them. If they were empty, the bike would float. It was great for
climbing over fallen trees or large boulders because of the all wheel drive
but if wasn't fast enough to really jump or slide around the corners like a
dirt bike/motocrosser. It was a "stump puller".
