Back when my brother & I were just kids we stuck a 3.5 HP Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine on a bicycle. We had no money for the non-vital parts like brakes or a clutch or a kill switch. We thought we would figure that out later. To kill the engine you had to reach down between your legs and flip the metal tag to ground the plug. That tag broke off when I was riding it and I could not stop. I had to reach down and ground it with my hand to keep from running into traffic. That was painful, but better than road rash.
