"That [bike's] a weapon!"
Exclamation from the girl at the cafe stop on Sunday upon seeing my RANS with its full fairing parked by the ice cream stall. There was quite a crowd gathering. The kids at the jetty when I was unloading the bike from the small river ferry were pretty amazed too.

Shurely shome mishtake as those have the appearance of a mobile rack, employed to wrest secrets or confessions from heretics. And them saddles would shock Mrs Whitehouse!
Cugel, probably too conventional.
PS How would one employ it as a weapon? Is it like them crutches in that old film "The Jackal" ?

Is that an assassin's rifle I see in your down tube or are you just displeased to see me? Anyroadup, don't point that thing at me!

It's "stealthed" due to the lack of a flag.
