- When you can find one. Unbeknownst to the old timers at the time, the
- organic sheaths provided little protection from Accumulated Intake
- Destruction Syndrome. AIDS would attack the air, oil, and fuel
- filters, eliminating the bike's natural ability to ward off accumulated
- grit and spooge from its environment, leading to a complete breakdown
- of the motorcycle.
-
- Initially ignored by government authorities who shunned the Spagthorpe
- lifestyle, it was not until AIDS began to infect white American male
- heterosexual yuppies' motorcycles that research on the problem began in
- earnest. As an interem measure, the use of latex piston sheathes was
- encouraged. In fact, thousands of these sheaths were distributed
- freely at poker runs, Dead concerts, Unicoastal Jousts, and other
- haunts of the Spagthorpe enthusiasts.
