RE: DSII motorcycles/grav bikes

They weren't known for accepting whether it would work properly or not;
although the same guys once decided to combat dismount 3 bikes from an
APC
(can't remember what type, but they lowered the ramp while moving, &
drove
out as soon as it turned around).   These guys weren't the sanest (from
a
civilian point of view) from the various stories I've heard.
