Same bike from 1974 with newer engine and trans. You can straddle it and walk like bow legged bear. 125cc engine with a 4 speed while doing irrigation work. then zip off to 101 café for lunch or the post office. Not sure about a run to toad but that is not really what it is for. Probably 60 bucks a month and business deduction for your irrigation work.

A 4X4 ATV seems to work the best. |

Beautiful day again here in Pinehurst, 72 and sunny. Got out and tee'd em up with with my good buddy John. He had 4 birdies, I had none! :-( Fantastic day out regardless. After a beer on the veranda I walked out to the Fatboy and couldn't help but take a picture of it in the twilight.  I'm lovin this bike. |

I road the Trike 250 miles today. Unfortunately it was pulling the trailer at 65 mph. And it took a 120 miles for me to get used to it after not riding since the middle of March. My left knee kept locking up and my hands were cramping. My poison ivy rash was spreading and itching like crazy and I has gloves on. I added air to the Airhawk seat cushion when I stopped for gas. When I pulled out of the gas station I hit a pothole and my Yeti flipped out of the drink holder and landed in my lap. Things got better after that. It was a wonderful day because I got to ride my trike 250 miles! 😁😜😜❤️🚲🚲🤠

Looks new because no one was ever able to get it started! I should think a 1,000cc twin with the electrical system of the 1930s was a challenge to start when cold. In the early 1970s, Norton added "capacitor discharge ignition" to their 750/850s and that helped. |

I like the hand shift and foot clutch set up. I can think of better ways to go. If I could afford it I would have a new Goldwing trike with the automatic transmission. |

I got as far as the 1958 Harley Davidson XLR and entered my bid of $100.00. I could go higher. That is a motorcycle I greatly admire and occasion to "ride" with Bart Markel who was on one. I was at the back of the pack on the track. Bart was out in front, like always. That is about the only HD I covet. I admire the Knuckleheads but would not want to own one. |

Go ahead and laugh, you big-bike Sons of Nicotine, but I have a hydraulic lift on my little camping trailer that carries a Honda CF100. Ha! But it gets me where I wanna go in the boonies and brings me back every time.  |

I would like one of the 2 stroke Yamaha or Kawasaki 250s. Or one of the older BMWs. I had a 125 Yamaha 125 YT with the gyt kit. It was very fast off road. But I was 70 pounds lighter back then. Small bikes are fun.
