Nope. you are right. Flat, short, stretches like this are Ok and not too risky. however, too long of extended full throttle, or flooring it up a big hill may cause the engine to sieze. I know. Oh boy, do I know. Pretty amazing little 360cc engine really.
Was the engine stock? As I recall, Consumer Reports listed top speed at 56 mph. Glad to see one cruise up to 70, though. Thanks for the ride! I may never get to ride in one, so this is the next best thing. :)
Congrats on your "land speed record"! That WAS a level stretch of highway, wasn't it? As for the sound of the motor, that tune really does pretty much say it!
It's obnoxious but fitting....
