That's a bit of a strange look on that VFR, solo cowl installed on it with pillion handles at the same time. I didn't know that was possible....
Further thought, just to clarify where my opinion comes from: I guess one man's "Good enough, let's ride!" is another man's "No way am I gonna...

Watched that video, here's a question: Early in the video he shows (written on paper) his musically annotated representation of the VFR firing...
