haha I don´t want to do that either, not when new and especially not in that condition and almost 100 years old. On top of that it had wooden rims :)

Did they even bother to balance wheels back in the day? I wouldn't be surprised if not and that would make a San Francisco earthquake feel like a walk in the park around its "top speed".

just had a quick look and it seems like wheel balancing was invented in 1945 so I guess it was a bumby ride back then
