    Ah, the Tatra. Darling of Western car buffs with a penchant for the absurdly obscure. While your neighbor’s frame of reference encompasses only “Accord or Camry?”, you puff your chest and strut like a peacock about the Tatra’s unique traits whenever prompted. Drive by a Czechvar sign? “Did you know the Tatra’s rear-mounted, air-cooled V8…

    “Now, my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say “dickety” cause that Kaiser had stolen our word “twenty”. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles …” – Abraham Simpson.

    This is one of those Hooniverse Asks where I’m not going to try and hide my biases – cubic inches are fine for boulevarding with a half-ton of passenger heft on board, but I ride for fun. That means shifting your weight around a bit, and not just to reach the 128 oz. soda nested…
