Actually, we are ahead of when Jute first arrived in 2010.
In one of his first appearances, he claimed his sit-up-and-beg bike was
super-aerodynamic because he had coasted it down a local hill at
something like 50 mph.
Eventually, he added to the fiction by saying he had paid a local farmer
to bolt a huge plywood sheet across the back of a farm truck, then drive
it down the hill just in front of Jute to give him a windbreak, after
first towing Jute up to speed with a tow rope.
See? It's all cartoon-level fiction, but the fiction is much more
detailed. Progress!
