Did you drive around on mopeds in your youth?
Hey, my first bike was a used Fantic Motor 50cc enduro, excatly teh model pictured below, but a 50cc version. Beautiful and horrible bike at once. To this day it is still the worst purchase I've ever made, not only it wasn't legal (it required a motorcycle permit which I couldn't even attempt because I wasn't 16yo) but it seized because I screwed up the motor oil/gas mix (you had to have 6% motor oil mixed into the gas).
It sounded a lot like the chopper GHE linked above, only louder, when it did run that is, because all the power was at high RPMs. Same irregular idling. It was actually so loud that when I would sneak out from home late at night I would have to walk the bike for two blocks so that my mother wouldn't hear me leaving.
