Talking of having issues, you could probably but an LC with a few issues for that price?

During world war 2 the Japanese realised that they were severely depleted in man power whilst they realised they couldnโt beat the allies in a fair fight under the samurai code they embraced kamikaze missions by land sea and air. What south east Asia has a lot of is rhesus monkeys shoijiro Honda had been producing parts for planes and industrial sewing machines these were powered by what became the c50 engine as auxiliary power units realising the abundance of monkeys he designed a simple powered motorcycle that could be ridden by a monkey and delivery 100kgs of explosive a suicide machine. They never really got past the testing before ww2 ended and eventually with this supply of motorcycles cluttering up his workshop he set about converting them for human use The project code name was rhesus bike or monkey bike boom there you go.

While I donโt go shouting about it on here (as itโs not on topic) I have commented on my past if relevant.
As a youth I was well into the scooter scene. I ended up with Lambrettas when cash would allow. My favourite model was the GP. A sporty version designed by Bertone, who also designed some Lamborghinis and Ferrariโs.
IMO these not only look far better than monkey bikes, outperform them by far, but also handle acceptable @ 70mph.

Funny isnโt it 30 odd years ago it was bikers vs mods/scooter boys now weโre all just Middle Ages blokes living our lives and there is no animosity in fact Iโd say some respect. Few years ago I was on holiday in Menorca sat in a bar in Mahon the owner had a few classic bikes incl Norton 16h bsa m20 but also a classic Vespa v early as well, it said 1950 on it Iโve had a few large G&t by this time (Mahon gin the oldest in the world) so I start getting excited and I tells my wife itโs Uber cheap Iโm buying it and Iโll ride it home Iโve got images of a cool road trip and a tidy profit. So I start chatting casually to the bar owner eventually I drop in to the conversation my interest he is cool couple more G & T s he then says yes of course you can buy it, itโs an early one 1950 and I want โฌ10,000.00 for it Needless to say I flew home

How cool? Well if looking silly is your cool go and ride it in public... but I think you could save a lot of money by just sticking a dildo on your head then venturing forth into the public domain.. how f**king "cool" would that be?

Well I've read this post and I'm scratching my head, do I like it or not? As I'm 6ft 2 I couldn't possibly fit onto that without going 5 yards and ending in agony as my knees snap, or a fractured skull after wheelieing it like a mother for a second and realising my skull is going to impact with the floor at the rear of my nappa like some fool on YouTube,, I could attach it to a hand glider and fly like an Eagle but then once up I'd be like a b52 bomber pilot over Germany and dump the fecker as fast as I could before the engine packed in at such dizzy altitudes,,, I'd never get stuck in the mud with monster 4x4 tyres it has and it has the power of a lawnmower so no rossi gp power slides,, would I try and ride it down my high street, to get the looks of a witch in the Spanish inquisition years I'd be lucky not to get stoned or various vegetables thrown at me like in the stockade,. All knees and elbows full leathers to save my skin from the dreaded grav rash that will undoubtabley follow, would I buy one he'll no!!!!! Would I own one?? I'd tell no fecker and I'd deny any knowledge of such travusty,,, would ride one yep like feck in ghost rider,, you never take me alive copper ๐๐๐๐๐
