I did and survived the ordeal. It was one of my life's memorable experiences. There was a local dealer that offered test scoots. I did mine for a couple hours, and while the ride was fun, I could soon tell the setup wasn't for me. They were made for banging around the mud flats and snow fields of eastern Europe and Russia. Stole the engine from the Germans and made it worse. I hear today they are refined and offer some good features. There's a few up here in Alaska that treasure them, especially in winter.
