What is the fascination? I'll tell you mine. It is the sound. The sound of high performance. I could never ride a Harley even though I'm a Boomer and supposed to be drawn to that iron. I can't stand the sound of both cylinders firing on the same stroke, it just sounds wrong. Singer sewing machine? quite possible, well tuned and the sound of the cooling fan is unmistakeable even today. Don't know about you but when just about anything with military power flies overhead I look up because that is what high performance sounds like. It stirs the emotion. Like the sound of the Boxster when in the perfect twisties just using throttle and singing up and down the rev range. I love it.
Aww damn just read Chuck Yeager passed away. Greatest pilot ever. RIP.
