On the side of the road ahead, they see... "A wheelchair?" asks Sara. They inspect the contraption curiously. While Sara HAS seen motorized wheelchairs before, she's never seen one quite like this. Instead of two wheels, it has three, all of which look as if they were pulled from a motorcycle, along with the engine beneath the seat and the handlebars, gauges and windscreen in front. A glance at the speedometer indicates that the machine has a top speed in excess of 80 MPH. The seat was apparently designed for someone of the--*larger* persuasion, because it looked as if it could seat two normal people. And wonder of wonders--not only is the fuel tank full, there's a set of keys in the ignition. "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" asks Sara, eying the keys. "I think so, Sara," says Jasper. "But too much butter is bad for the complexion." She smacks him in irritation. "Stop that. Now look, there's this....wheelchair-cycle in the middle of nowhere, complete with keys. Someone obviously left it here for us, because there's no one else around, right? We can get to our destination a hell of a lot faster on this thing than on foot." "Where ARE we going, anyway? "I have NO idea, but...anywhere has to be better than here."
