Nice to hear I'm not the only one fielding size 1 speeder bikes - mine
are
Fast GEV w/ a fixed mount DFFG/2, but close enough...

I also use them for arty scouting - put a specialist observer on board
and
run them around. They're so small and fast, they're very hard to hit
from
any range at all. If they are hit though, man do they die quick...
