Well THAT is a strange bike! How do you get use to a shifter on the floor like that particular one? Some of the setup is very interesting, but I would think that it would be more practical to just buy a Honda Big Ruckus.

When we lived in Dallas, I used to hang out with the vintage (i.e. 2-stroke) Vespa and Lambretta gang. Those guys take this stuff REAL serious and would not have a Honda in their garage for any reason. I'll bet they'd love this machine, though, especially if it's fast and sounds good, which I imagine it is and does.

Yup, the right one looks like a brake and the left a shifter.

Welding on the silencer looks very labor intensive.

Don't know why but I kept looking for the place you pop the 10 cents into. . .like on those horse rides that used to be out in front of department stores years ago.

See that thing on the handlebar that looks like a gauge. It isn't. It is a little bank with an on/off switch in it. It only takes quarters (25 cents).

Silliness personified. But what a neat piece of work.
