Oh, here's another good one. Probably followed by more on a similar topic.
When I was a teenager a lot of us had Honda Spree's (1987 or so). A friend of mine had heard that if you connect a tube to a bottle of starter fluid and run it directly into the carb you could make it go much faster. So he does, and it does go faster, quite a bit faster... Anyway, he's clipping along out in the country, probably doing about 50, and all of a sudden BOOM, the engine seizes and he has to ghost ride the thing out into a corn field. When he gets up and dusts himself off, he goes over to take a look at the damage... The spark plug was sticking through the seat, and had almost impaled his ass. Needless to say, that was the end of his days of "modifying" mopeds.
