I had the priviledge of riding and firing her during a special event a few yars ago. Unlike every other Climax I have ever been on, she didn't try to throw us out of the cab, but ran smoothly. Also blew smoke rings. Large appetite for red gum, though.

Would that be Trident Cinnimon? I've heard that non-sugarless gum is bad for the tubes......
