    The trike was a great bike, for the wife. A scooter only has 3 wheels f your carrying a spare. But she wanted to ride, plus I thought if I ever get crippled up enough I could still ride. When the wife got sick I finally sold it, but I always have something in the barn cause I buy em in the winter, fix up anything that needs it and sell them.

    And I got an old basket case in a thousand pieces too. 58 pan. Probably enough boxes of parts to build another 3 bikes, this sickness is my only rabbit hole since I stepped off the plane in 1972 coming back from my tour, haven’t been without out one or two since. Even got rid of 3 women who suggested that I give them up

    Maybe you should look at the BRP Can-Am Spyder. There is one here n HG and they look pretty good. The guy that owns it says it rides like a bike. He has had many many bikes over the years, but at his age and stature he was unable to handle the weight of a touring bike. He is very happy with his.

    A picture of my last bike on a day trip to the highest paved road in the USA. Well, that was before they finished paving the road to the top of Pike's Peak.

    Ya, they never sold the Monkey in the US. We had these Z-50's.

    A new Monkey is being made, 125cc, fuel injected, anti-lock.
    Lots bigger! Hard to get and pricy over here. A friend has one....A blast!

    An original 1st year Monkey and the new one.

    The new Monkey is pretty much a restyled Grom, looks like a lot of fun!
