Back in the day when I was part of  Texas Lake Community Society ( "the
commune") we were given a shortened '64 bus.  Very cute and yes it did
wheelies even with the puny motor, but it was very twitchy at highway speeds
ie 50 mph.  We lost "L'il Toot" when Holly rolled him on Lake of the Woods
hill.  Thankfully, Holly's only serious injury was a broken arm, but I've
been put off shortened wheelbases for life.
