I remember riding on them. They had permanently sealed windows, the pane of glass cut out to the size of the frame. They had a wonderful sounding engine and transmission too. |

I rode a few Twins when I rode the sealed window fishbowls in Chicago many moons ago. I guess they were running out their last miles then. The few I rode couldn't get out of their own way. |
