I get pissed off when my leafblower dies and I have to walk around to the garage to reload another lump, I would curse the heavens if it happened to my motorcycle.

I'm wondering what kind of screwball rules the AMA is going to come up with to classify these machines. No fuel rules, no sound rules, weight? Cheater maps?
