The Trabbi bodies were made out of cotton and somthing like that pink wood workers glue. I guess it was commie fiberglass.
With the two Rd350 Expansion chambers I had fitted on it it sounded like a GP racing bike.
Absolutely one of the coolest scenes I remember from the fall of communism in Europe is a parade of Trabants in Berlin, smoking like mosquito foggers, puttin' west through the newly opened border.
